Mama's Amazing Creamy Potatoes image

My mother use to make the best red potatoes in a thick creamy white sauce. The best I remember she simply boiled the potatoes until tender and then she added whole milk and flour to make a white sauce. She seasoned with salt and pepper. I loved these potatoes and especially loved crumbling a piece of cornbread up and spooning...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 to 8 small red new potatoes, peeled and quartered
water (just enough to cover potatoes)
1 chicken boullion cube
1/4 c butter
1 Tbsp onion flakes, dehydrated (or small amount of fresh chopped onion)
1 celery rib, sliced
1/4 c all purpose flour
1 c heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste (i used fresh ground pepper)

Steps:

  • 1. Cover potatoes (in an appropriate size pot) with water. Add boullion cube, butter, onion flakes and celery (and a little salt). Bring to a slow boil over medium heat and cook until potatoes are tender but not mushy (7 to 8 minutes). I use red potatoes because they are a firmer potato.
  • 2. Combine flour and just enough cream to make a smooth paste. Gradually whisk in remaining cream. Once potatoes are tender, pour cream mixture into potatoes and continue cooking until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
  • 3. NOTE: serve as a side dish or load it with shredded cheese, crumbled fried bacon, sour cream, green onion,...etc and eat as a meal.

I'm not sure I did something wrong, but my potatoes didn't turn out creamy at all.

The potatoes were a little dry. I think I needed to add more milk.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some extra garlic and onion and it was much better.

These potatoes were a little too creamy for my taste, but they were still good.
