Cooking Preparation:

I have never noticed beer actually making a difference in taste.
3. Bring the water to a boil.

Cooking Method:
1. Add potatoes and onion to the boiling pot and boil for 10 minutes.

5. Drain the pot.
6. Cover a table with a white plastic table cloth and then cover it with a thick layer of newspaper.
7. Dump the pot out on top of the table.
8. Sprinkle a little Old Bay Seasoning over the food and drizzle with melted butter. Enjoy!
Serve with plenty of paper towels, homemade cocktail sauce, melted butter, crackers and hot sauce.
