Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Thin-sliced spuds with onion, beef broth, and thyme are as savory and tender as can be. A bit of fresh parsley sprinkled over top finishes the job.

2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, chopped
2 pounds potatoes such as Yukon Gold
1 can (15 ounce size) condensed beef broth
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter. When melted, add the onion and cook, stirring frequently, until soft.
Pare and thinly slice the potatoes. Add the potatoes to the skillet along with the beef broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Bring the broth to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the skillet and let the potatoes cook for 30 minutes or until tender and the liquid has thickened.
Sprinkle the bouillon potatoes with the parsley and serve hot.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

VERY flavorful potatoes! I think I would have liked chicken broth better maybe but the beef broth gave them a real meaty flavor which my husband liked.
