Passed down from my German nana 👵🏻, this creamy potato dish is rich, comforting, and full of nostalgia. Perfect for Sunday dinners or holidays — it’s a simple yet unforgettable side that everyone loves!

Ingredients

• 2 lbs potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet), peeled and sliced
• 3 tbsp butter
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ cups whole milk
• ½ cup heavy cream
• ½ small onion, finely chopped
• ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• Pinch of nutmeg (optional, for authentic German flavor)

Instructions

1. Boil Potatoes: Place sliced potatoes in a large pot, cover with salted water, and boil until just tender (about 10–12 minutes). Drain and set aside.
2. Make the Cream Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in chopped onion and cook until soft and fragrant (about 3 minutes).
3. Add Flour: Sprinkle in the flour, stirring constantly for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
4. Add Milk & Cream: Gradually whisk in milk and cream, stirring until smooth and thickened.
5. Season: Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Adjust to taste.
6. Combine: Gently fold the cooked potatoes into the creamy sauce. Heat through for 2–3 minutes until fully coated and warm.
7. Serve: Sprinkle with extra pepper or nutmeg before serving. Enjoy hot! 😋
