Depending on how much you want to make...sautee chopped onion and celery in the pan you are going to boil the potatoes in. When the veggies are soft add potatoes all cut to about an equal size so they cook the same speed. Add a few inches of water to the pan and bring to a boil, keep the lid on so the potatoes which are not covered by the water will steam cook. When the potatoes are tender add a chicken bullion cube and milk to cover the potatoes and bring to a simmer. Kill the heat and thicken with a few tablespoons of cornstarch dissolved in a couple tablespoons of cold water. Stir that in and it will thicken almost instantly. Adjust your salt and pepper to the taste you like and serve with a sprinkling of shredded cheddar cheese and a bit of chopped green onion. It's really bad for you anyways so add some chopped bacon as a garnish if you wish. Warning, straight out of the pot it is very very hot.
