- Chop the onion and shimmer with butter, until the onion becomes golden or transparent
- Add the potatoes and mix to get all the flavors and let cook a minute to get little colour
- Pour some water (1l) just enough to cover the potatoes and some more (add more to have it more liquid, this or less to have it more creamy)
