Two Potato Chowder
My step mom made this soup for us last year when we were visiting. It’s very tasty and filling. And, it’s easy to whip up! Don’t forget the shredded cheese and bacon to sprinkle on top of the soup when you serve it. This will warm you up to the core on these cold and nasty days we’ve been having!

Recipe from my Step Mom
I love roast potatoes, and the addition of mustard sounds amazing! I would probably throw some garlic cloves in there too — nothing better than roast garlic!
Wow! Does this ever sound and look delicious! Ummmmm! Love roast potatoes and mustard both and I can only imagine how excellent this dish is! I will be trying this! Thanks!
The color on those potatoes is just AMAZING! Looks fabulous!
Roasted potatoes are a go-to winter side dish for me, and I’m always looking for a new recipe. This one is a keeper!
These look delicious! I bet the mustard adds a lot of delicious flavor…yum!
Mmm, these look great! I love roasted potatoes and make a similar version with horseradish mustard and lemon juice and they are so good. Such an easy recipe and a huge crowd pleaser!
There’s a similar recipe on Epicurious that also uses lemon juice and zest. Addictive!
I love ina gartens recipes! Ive made this one before it was amazing!
These look fabulous!
I’ve never been disappointed by an Ina Garten recipe and this one looks wonderfully delicious too.
Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and tested to see
if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube
sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views.
I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!
You have made some good points there. I checked on the web for additional information about the
issue and found most individuals will go along with your views on this site.
This may seem completely unimportant (or relevant) but is there any reason the onions didn’t make it to the final plate (picture)? Or maybe I’m just blind…

Great question! I think I just chopped them really small when I made them that time… Who knows, maybe I omitted them. I’ve made this recipe so many times and the onions are great, but sometimes I don’t have any on hand.
What did you serve with the potatoes and onions? I have only one oven so can’t roast at different temps at the same time!
