Ingredients

  • 7 potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp bacon grease optional, for added flavor
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • onion flakes optional, a pinch
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Peel and cube the potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces. Place in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
  • In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add bacon grease if using. Stir in onion flakes and flour, cooking for about 1 minute to form a roux.
  • Slowly whisk in the milk and water to avoid lumps. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  • Add the cooked potatoes back to the pot and gently stir to coat with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Adjust consistency with more milk or water if needed.
  • Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to combine. Serve warm.

Notes

For extra richness, substitute half the water with chicken broth. Serve as a side for roasted meats.
