• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons margarine
• 1 tablespoon dried onion
• 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

1. Peel and cut up potatoes into small cubes. Put in small pot with just enough water to cover the potatoes and cook (boil) for 10 minutes or until tender
2. Drain the cooked potatoes in the colander and then return then to the small pot. Mash slightly with the potato masher.
3. In the medium pot melt the margarine on medium heat. Add onions, salt, celery salt, and pepper.
4. Stir with wire whisk. Add flour and stir until the flour is absorbed into the margarine mixture. Do not let this get brown.
5. Add the hot milk (milk should be heated in microwave for two minutes), turn heat up to medium high. Stir constantly with wire whisk until the milk boils and starts to thicken. Remove from heat.
