Ingredients
- 2 lbs new potatoes
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Scrub the new potatoes under cold running water to remove any dirt, keeping the skins intact. Cut any larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking, and leave smaller ones whole.
Step 2
Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
Step 4
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, sprinkle in the flour and whisk continuously to form a smooth paste (roux). Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, but do not let it brown.
Step 5
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Once all the milk is incorporated, add the heavy cream and whisk until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 6
Season the cream sauce with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Step 7
Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the cream sauce. Gently stir to coat the potatoes evenly in the sauce.
Step 8
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top and stir gently to combine. Remove from heat.
Step 9
Serve the creamed new potatoes warm as a side dish, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
