4 slices bacon, diced
4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 large onions, peeled and diced
1 c. diced celery

In large pan saute bacon and add potatoes, onions, celery and simmer in just enough water to steam until vegetables are done. Add one quart of milk to this and simmer until heated good. Do not boil. If you want this thickened, take 2 tablespoons flour and brown in 2 tablespoons of butter, slowly adding milk to this. Then add to potato mixture. Sometimes Mom thickened it and sometimes not.
