  2                    Garlic -- crushed
  1      tb            Butter

cook, stirring occasionallly, for 5 to 7 minutes or until the onions

lightly browned, and the liquid has been absorbed.

Discard the bay leaf and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve
mixed thoroughly into mashed potatoes.
