2 tbsp of butter
1/3 tsp of salt
2-3 tbsp of butter
2 tbsp of flour

Wash potatoes and boil until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and remove loose skins. Toss hot peeled potatoes in 2-3 tbsp of butter until each potato is lightly coated. Place in a serving bowl and keep hot. While potatoes cook, cook peas in lightly salted water and prepare white sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp of butter stir in flour. Gradually add milk, stirring constantly until sauce thickens. Add salt and pepper, add peas, and pour over new potatoes.

8 oz of grated Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup of butter
2 cups of sour cream (needs to be at room temperature)
1/3 cup of a chopped yellow onion
1 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp of pepper

Boil potatoes, peel, and shred coarsely into a large mixing bowl. In a sauce pan over low heat, combine cheese and 1/4 cup of butter, stirring until almost melted.

Potato, Bacon, and Kale Soup
2 pounds of Dark Red Norland Potatoes
1 bunch of Kale
3/4 pound of bacon
1 garlic clove
1 cup of heavy cream
5 tsp of Balsamic Vinegar
Salt and pepper
Peel potatoes and put in a pot with enough cold, salted water to cover. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower heat, uncover, and simmer until done (about 25 minutes). Drain, reserving the cooking liquid. Break up the potatoes with a masher (they should be lumpy, not mashed). While boiling potatoes, cook bacon in a large pot until crisp. Drain grease from bacon and crumble. Drain the bacon grease, reserving it to cook the kale. Return 1/2 potato and crumble bacon to the bacon pot.
Stem and chop kale. Mince garlic. Cook half the Kale and garlic in two tbsp of leftover bacon grease and 2 1/2 tsp of balsamic vinegar. Add kale to the potatoes and bacon and then repeat the process with the other half of Kale and garlic. Add 1/2 of reserved cooking liquid to potato/kale pot and begin to simmer. Make a soup base by blending the remaining potatoes and cooking liquid. Add soup stock to simmering potatoes and kale. Add cream and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer until ready to serve.
