Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes or until tender.

Step 2

While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the flour and cook for another minute, creating a roux.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer, continuing to whisk regularly to avoid lumps.

Step 5

Once the mixture has thickened, stir in the heavy cream, fresh thyme, rosemary, the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, and pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Drain the cooked potatoes and add them to the sauce. Gently fold the potatoes into the sauce to coat them evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes, gently stirring to incorporate the cheese.

Step 8

Remove from heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
