Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the baby potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the potato slices in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Cook the potatoes for 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and steam the broccoli for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to make a roux.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook the sauce, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan until melted and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Return the cooked potatoes and broccoli to the skillet, folding them gently into the cheese sauce to coat evenly.
Sprinkle with a pinch of paprika for garnish, if desired, and serve warm.
