Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Season the sauce with freshly ground black pepper and set aside.
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.
Transfer the creamed potatoes into a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful yet low-sodium creamed potatoes.
