1. Put peeled and cut potatoes in a pot. Put enough water in the pot so that it is 2 inches higher than the potatoes.
Heat the water until it boils. Cook the potatoes until they are soft when pierced with a fork, but still hold their shape. Lower the temperature.
In another bowl, mix flour and half a cup of water until the flour dissolves.
Slowly pour the flour mixture into the pot with the potatoes while stirring continuously. Let it cook for a short time to make it thicker. Change the thickness by adding more flour for a thicker texture or more water for a thinner one.
Add milk, salt, pepper, onion flakes, and butter or bacon grease (if desired) to the mixture according to your taste.
Savor the tasty Southern stewed potatoes with cornbread, collard greens, or a fresh salad for a delicious and fulfilling Southern meal. This meal is great for parties or as a tasty side dish to go with your favorite main course.
