Ingredients
- Two portions of butter with a hint of salt, split
- A dollop of olive oil to enhance
- Finely chopped onion to bring depth
- A touch of garlic salt for flavor
- Dried tarragon to add an herby essence
- A couple of dashes of liquid smoke for a smoky twist
- Three potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes for heartiness
- Three cups of vegetable stock for a wholesome base
- Cornstarch for thickening purposes
- A cup of half-and-half for creaminess
- Shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, as much as desired
- Fresh parsley, chopped finely to sprinkle
Step 1
In a spacious stockpot, melt a tablespoon of butter along with olive oil over gentle heat. Toss in the onion and let it sizzle until it turns a lovely brown hue, taking around 3 minutes. Infuse the mix with garlic salt, tarragon, and a hint of liquid smoke for depth of flavor, stirring until the onion becomes translucent, which should take about 2 to 4 minutes. Introduce the potatoes into the pot along with the vegetable stock, then slowly bring it all to a gentle boil. Allow the concoction to bubble away until the potatoes are tender and the stock has reduced to a luscious cupful, typically 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, melt the other tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Sprinkle in the cornstarch, ensuring it is fully incorporated without letting it catch and burn. Pour in the half-and-half, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency, usually within 3 to 5 minutes. Merge this velvety mixture into the pot with the potatoes, letting everything meld together over low heat for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Before serving, top off the dish with a scattering of sharp Cheddar cheese and freshly chopped parsley for a flavorful flourish.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Start by storing your fresh potatoes in a cool, dark place like a pantry or cellar to keep them fresh for as long as possible.
- 2. To save time, peel and chop your potatoes in advance and store them in a container filled with cold water in the fridge. This will prevent them from turning brown and keep them fresh until you're ready to use them.
