- Chopped onion – 1 medium
- Garlic cloves – 3, minced
- Olive oil – 1 tablespoon
- Condensed cream of mushroom soup – 1 can (10.5 ounces)
- Milk – 1 cup (whole milk preferred for creaminess)
- Worcestershire sauce – 1 tablespoon
- Salt – 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper – ½ teaspoon
- Thinly sliced potatoes – 4 cups (about 4–5 medium russets or Yukon golds)

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Sauté Onion and Garlic
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once shimmering, toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3–5 minutes, stirring often, until the onions become soft and fragrant. This is your flavor foundation — don’t rush it!
