Directions
-
Peel and dice the raw potatoes into small, uniform cubes for even cooking.
-
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the diced potatoes, water, and bacon fat (or vegetable oil).
-
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes.
-
Stir in the whole kernel corn, condensed cream of chicken or mushroom soup, instant minced onion, chili powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and evaporated milk.
-
Increase heat to medium and bring the soup just to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
-
Reduce heat to low and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
-
Taste and adjust salt if necessary, then serve hot in bowls.
