1 1/2 c  Diced onion
1/4 c  Butter or margarine
4 c  Large-diced potatoes
1    Carrot; coarsely grated
2 c  Water
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Pepper

In a large saucepan, brown the onion in the butter. Add the potatoes,
carrot, water, salt, pepper, and dillweed. Cook on low until potatoes are

cooking until mixture is heated through. Stir in the potato flakes.
