Ingredients
- 3 gold potatoes (peeled) 1.5 lbs. / 700 grams
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 45 ml
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 4 cloves garlic (roughly chopped)
- 1 1/2 tbsp all purpose flour 12 grams
- 2 tsp sweet smoked Spanish paprika 5 grams
- 1 tsp dried oregano 1 gram
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper 0.65 grams
- 3/4 cup vegetable broth 180 ml
- 3/4 cup low fat milk (at room temperature) 180 ml
- 2 tbsp grated Manchego cheese 15 grams
- 2 tsp lemon juice 10 ml
- sea salt & black pepper

Instructions
-
Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces that are 3/4 inch thick (2 cm), then add the chopped potatoes into a stockpot in a flat layer, and fill with water, just enough to cover the potatoes, season generously with salt, and heat with a high heat
-
In the meantime, heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in the olive oil
-
After a couple of minutes, add in the chopped onion and garlic, and mix continuously
-
Once the onion and garlic are lightly sautéed, about 3 minutes, add in the flour and mix continuously for 2 minutes, then add in the paprika, oregano, and crushed red pepper, and quickly mix together
-
Add in the vegetable broth and milk, and gently mix together until you get a creamy sauce with no lumps, about 4 to 5 minutes, then season with salt & pepper, mix together, and lower to a low heat
-
About 15 to 20 minutes after turning on the heat on the potatoes, they should be cooked through, you can always pierce them with a toothpick to ensure they are done, do not overcook them, or they will break apart, using a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes directly from the stockpot to the pan with the creamy sauce
-
Season the potatoes with black pepper, and gently mix together until well mixed, then turn off the heat, add in the grated cheese and lemon juice, and give one final mix
-
Transfer into a large serving dish and top off with chopped chives, enjoy!
