- 1/2 cup chopped yellow onions
- 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 4 cup milk
- 1 cup peeled and cubed red-skinned potatoes
- 2 cup pecan meal

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft and golden, about 6 minutes. Add the flour and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Add the milk, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the potatoes, pecan meal and garlic, and season with salt and hot sauce.
