Answer 5

you can look up a recipes on line but usually it is cooking the potatoes in chicken broth. When the potatoes are done you blend all. Then add cream and salt. Pepper adds black spots so white pepper is best.

Oops...I forgot to add onions that have been sauteed in butter before the boiling and other cooking starts.
