UNCLE BILL'S ONION SOUP MIX POTATOES
Description This is a recipe my mom always called "Uncle Bill's Potatoes". I don't have an uncle Bill, so don't worry about the nomenclature if you want to call them that too. Some other folks will call them onion soup mix potatoes, or foil pack onion potatoes. Whatever you call them, they are Dan Good, super easy, and Dan-O's Seasoning takes them to the next level! There are 4 simple ingredients here: butter, potatoes, Dan-O's Seasoning, and a packet of onion soup mix. What I do is slice my potatoes pretty thin, then add them to a bowl. Mix in the dry ingredients and a half stick of melted butter, and that's it! Wrap these bad boys in foil, and then you can bake them, throw them on the grill, or cook them on a campfire. Which you should always have Dan-O's when you're camping, duh.... I've done this onion soup mix potatoes recipe with red potatoes, gold potatoes, and your standard russet potatoes. I'll be the first to tell you, they're all delicious! The main flavor savers, however, are as follows: use the Dan-O's Seasoning... quite a bit of it. And cook these on a charcoal grill for the best flavor.And there you have it! Rich, tender, oniony and buttery potatoes, with the best herb and spice blend known to man. A little smoky taste from the coals, and the other good food items you're eating these with. Now your next job is to pass this on to your nephews and nieces... because Uncle Bill (whoever he was) made some mean potatoes!

UNCLE DICK'S MASHED POTATOES
This is recipe is loved by everyone who has tried it. My husband's uncle kept this recipe a secret for many years and would not share it with anyone; we had to wait until he passed away, and then my husband's aunt gave us the recipe. I made these for a Thanksgiving dinner we had at church, and now every time we have any sort of meal at church I am always asked if I going to make uncle Dick's potatoes. Even in the summer, this is what they want me to make. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.

Tips:
- Use the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for this soup because they break down easily and create a smooth, creamy texture.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Use a good quality cheddar cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this soup, so it's important to use a good quality cheddar cheese that melts well.
- Season the soup to taste: Don't be afraid to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder to taste. You can also add other spices, such as cumin or paprika, to give the soup a different flavor profile.
- Garnish the soup before serving: A sprinkle of chopped fresh chives or parsley will add a nice touch of color and flavor to the soup.
Conclusion:
Uncle Bill's Special Creamy Potato Soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
