Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 6 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes and dice them into small, evenly-sized cubes (approximately 1/2 inch).
Step 2
Fill a large pot with 6 cups of water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the diced potatoes to the boiling water, reduce the heat to medium, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
Step 4
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 5
Once the butter is melted, whisk in the flour to create a smooth roux and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Step 6
Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth sauce. Cook the mixture for 3-4 minutes, or until it begins to thicken.
Step 7
Stir in the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Step 8
Gently add the cooked, drained potatoes to the skillet and fold them into the cream sauce, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Step 9
Cook over low heat for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm as a side dish.
