6 to 8 potatoes, diced small
2 large onions
water (to cover 3/4 full)

You also need a 3-quart pan. Cook on medium heat until potatoes get soft enough to mash on the side of pan. Mash a few against side of pan to thicken. Add garlic, salt and pepper to taste and 1 stick of butter, stirring until melted. Add 1 can of corned beef, broken into small pieces, and cook for 25 to 35 minutes. Stir and serve from pot. Serve with corn bread.
