  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 1/4 cup All-purpose flour

  • Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • In a separate pot, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, until a smooth paste forms (roux).

  • Add heavy cream and milk to the pot. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Add cooked potatoes to the pot and mash slightly, leaving some chunks for texture.
