Ingredients

• 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the creamy sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Stir in the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt. Once melted, sprinkle in the flour, stirring constantly to create a smooth paste. Cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the raw flour taste to cook off.

Step 5

Gradually add the low-sodium chicken broth, continuously whisking to prevent any lumps. Once incorporated, add the whole milk and continue to whisk until the sauce begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Season the sauce with freshly ground black pepper and set aside.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are done, drain them and return them to the pot. Pour the creamy sauce over the potatoes and gently fold to coat the potatoes evenly.

Step 8

Transfer the creamed potatoes into a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful yet low-sodium creamed potatoes.
