- Place cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water; boil for 10–12 minutes until fork-tender, then drain well.
- In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat; cook diced onion and garlic for 2 minutes, then add sliced smoked sausage and brown lightly.
- Sprinkle flour over the sausage mixture, stir for 1 minute, then whisk in heavy cream and milk until smooth and thickened; season with salt and pepper.
