Ingredients
- 900 grams Baby potatoes
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 250 milliliters Whole milk
- 120 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground white pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the baby potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove dirt. Peel them if desired, though the skin can be left on for added texture and nutrients.
Step 2
Add the potatoes to a large pot and cover them with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
Step 4
In the same pot (or a large saucepan), melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. The mixture should have a smooth, paste-like consistency.
Step 5
Gradually pour in the whole milk while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue stirring as you add the heavy cream, ensuring the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Season the sauce with salt and ground white pepper. Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Add the cooked and drained potatoes to the creamy sauce. Gently fold the potatoes into the sauce, ensuring they are fully coated.
Step 8
Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped dill for a pop of color and flavor.
Step 9
Serve the Swedish Creamed Potatoes warm as a side dish or enjoy them on their own. Garnish with additional dill, if desired.
