INGREDIENTS:
- 4 medium potatoes (2 lbs.), washed, and peeled (if desired)
- 2 cups chicken broth, or reconstituted (low sodium) chicken bouillon or plain water
- 4 oz. cheese, shredded (1 cup)
- 4 tablespoons sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 pinch dried thyme, or ground nutmeg (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
- Bring the chicken broth or plain water to a boil on high heat in a 3-quart pan.
- Add the potatoes in the pan, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and cook for 15-20 minutes on low heat, until the potatoes are almost tender.
- Use tongs or a fork to transfer the potatoes from the pan to a plate, and cool for 15 minutes, reserving the liquid in the pan. Once cool, cut the potatoes into thin slices.
