Ingredients

  • 1 kg waxy potatoes 2 1/4 lbs (about 4 medium sized potatoes)
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 45 ml
  • 1 small onion (finely chopped)
  • 5 cloves garlic (roughly chopped)
  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour 8 grams
  • 1 tsp dried oregano 1 gram
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme .50 grams
  • 1/2 tsp sweet smoked Spanish paprika 1.25 grams
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes .65 grams
  • 1 cup low fat milk 240 ml
  • 3/4 cup vegetable broth 180 ml
  • 1/2 cup chopped sundried tomatoes (packed in oil) 55 grams
  • 2 tbsp grated manchego cheese 15 grams
  • 1/4 cup chopped basil 5 grams
  • 2 tsp lemon juice 10 ml
  • sea salt & black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cut the potatoes (peeled) into bite-size pieces that are 2 cm thick (3/4 inch), then add the potatoes into a stock pot, all in a flat layer, fill with water just enough to cover the potatoes, season generously with sea salt, and heat with a high heat

  2. In the meantime, heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in the olive oil

  3. After a couple of minutes add in the chopped onion and chopped garlic, mix continuously, after 3 to 4 minutes add in the flour, continue to mix together, after 2 minutes add in the oregano, thyme, paprika, and crushed red pepper, quickly mix together, then add in the milk and vegetable broth, gently mix continuously for a couple of minutes

  4. After 5 minutes and the sauce has slightly thickened, add in the chopped sundried tomatoes, and season with salt & pepper, mix together, then lower to a low-medium heat and simmer

  5. About 15 to 20 minutes after turning on the heat on the potatoes they should be just cooked through (you can always pierce them with a toothpick to ensure they are done, you kind of want them al dente), remove the stock pot from the heat and drain the potatoes into a colander, shake off any exess water

  6. Add the potatoes into the simmering cream sauce, gently mix together, and simmer for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat, add in the grated cheese, chopped basil, and lemon juice, gently mix together until well mixed

  7. Serve directly out of the pan or transfer into serving dishes, serve at once, enjoy!
