Yeah, I'm using my Mom's Irish family recipe, which is way better than canned. It has a bunch of variations, actually. One of the more interesting involves adding Guinness :)
Heh heh!
Anything with beer as one of the ingredients is usually pretty good. I never use white potatos for anything, preferring the smoother texture of reds. But I also kick the potato soup with canned milk...(don't tell my mother I said that, OK?)
