How to Make Barney J S Polish Potato Soup

  1. Peel and dice the potatoes into approximately 1-inch cubes.
  2. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

  7. Heat through for a few minutes, and serve hot. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
