Boil potatoes in water mixed with the onion soup mix.   When potatoes are done, drain and add other ingredients according to ammount of potatoes used.   Add salt and pepper as desired.  I didn't follow an exact recipe.  I just kinda made it up from other recipes I read.   Adjust the amount of ingredients to make it the consistanct that you like.  I added more cheddar on top when I was finished.
