Navy beans
Ham bone
1 tsp. salt
Pepper to taste
1 lg. onion, chopped
1 c. mashed potatoes
1 stalk celery, chopped
Dash garlic salt or powder

Wash and soak beans in cold water for 2 hours. Add ham bone, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and boil slowly for 2 hours. Remove bone, leaving bits of ham in beans. Add remaining ingredients and cook for at least 1 hour. It does not hurt to simmer longer.
