Instructions

  1. Peel and cube potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Rinse under cold water.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter (or olive oil/butter mix). Sauté onion until softened (5-7 minutes), then add garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stirring for about 2 minutes to form a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in broth while scraping the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer.
