List of Ingredients



• 1 onion, minced
  
• 2 Tbsp butter
  
• 1 Tbsp oil
  
• 6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  
• 2 large stalks celery, diced
  
• 1-1/2 cups diced ham
  
• 3 Tbsp flour
  
• 1-1/2 tsp salt
  
• 1/4 tsp white pepper or black pepper
  
• 3-1/2 cups milk
  






Instructions



1. Sauté onion in butter and oil until it starts getting translucent. Add potatoes and stir to coat with butter. Cook slowly a few minutes, stirring to prevent sticking. Add chopped celery. Cover and cook about 10 minutes, being careful not to let them brown.
   
   
2. Add diced ham and cook, covered, about 10 minutes longer, until vegetables are almost done.
   
   
3. Remove from heat and stir in flour, salt and pepper. Once dry ingredients are thoroughly stirred in, add milk, 1 cup at a time. Bring to a simmer; then simmer, covered, 15 to 20 minutes, being careful not to let it come to a fast boil.
