great grandma's potato soup

This recipe has been passed through my Dad's side of the family for a few generations now. There is no better comfort food when you are sick, lonely, or been up too late the night before! You can add anything to it (some chili powder for a kick is my favorite.) My family has added bacon, chives, or clams. Your choice!

3 lg diced potatoes
boil them in salt and water until tender
set aside

In a bowl
1c flour
1 egg
cut through with a knife forming little balls (as my family calls them rivlets)

In a large pot
3c water
1/2 stick of butter
bring to a boil
add egg balls
1can of evaporated milk
add back the cooked and drained potatoes
I add salt and a little pepper to taste

Serve with some homemade bisquick biscuits and enjoy.
