Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt to the water.

Step 3

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the potatoes in a colander and set aside.

Step 5

In the same pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 6

Once the butter is melted, add the flour, stirring constantly with a whisk, and cook for about 1 minute to form a roux.

Step 7

Gradually add the whole milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps, until the mixture is smooth.

Step 8

Add the heavy cream and continue whisking until the sauce begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Season the sauce with black pepper.

Step 10

Return the cooked potatoes to the pot with the cream sauce, gently folding to coat the potatoes evenly.

Step 11

Cook over low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes until the potatoes are heated through and fully coated.

Step 12

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 13

Transfer the creamed potatoes to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 14

Serve immediately and enjoy.
