  • 1/2 cup whole milk

  • 10 cups of potatoes cubed
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt to taste

  1. Melt butter in a large dutch oven and sauté onion sprinkled with salt for 3 minutes, until fragrant.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the onion and garlic mixture and stir until all butter has been absorbed.

  10. Add liquid smoke or smoked paprika for a great smoky taste.
  11. Add a splash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a small kick.
