Instructions
 

  • Cook the Potatoes: Peel and cube potatoes, boil in a pot of water until tender (10-15 minutes), then drain.
  • Prepare the Roux: In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of flour with ½ cup of water; return potatoes to the pot and stir in the flour mixture until the broth thickens (2-3 minutes).

  • Cheesy Twist: Add shredded cheddar or Parmesan after the milk and butter for a cheesy flavor.
  • Add Extra Veggies: Incorporate diced carrots, peas, or corn for added nutrition.
  • Herb Infusion: Fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or chives can enhance the flavor.
