Arrow

What You'll Need

– 3 pounds potato – 1/4 tsp pepper – 1/4 tsp thyme – 1/2 tsp paprika – 1 tbs oil – 4 spoons butter Cream Cheese Sauce – 4 oz cream cheese – 1 cup half and half – 1/4 tsp pepper – 1/2 tsp salt or season to taste

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 F. Start by peeling. This step is optional you can leave the skin on them if you prefer.

Step 2

Chop them into medium sized pieces

Step 3

Add thyme, salt, pepper, paprika, oil and mix to combine.

Step 4

Add some butter slices on top. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. After the 40 minutes remove the foil and broil. I usually do about 5 minutes on broil to create a crispy coating.

Step 5

Dice 1 small onion. Grade 1 carrot on the smaller settings as well as 3 cloves of garlic.

Step 6

Saute the onion with garlic in some butter for about 5 minutes or until its roasted.

Step 7

Add in the carrots and let it fry for an additional 5 minutes until the carrots soften.

Step 8

Now add the cream cheese and work it into the mixture.

Step 9

– Once it's combined add the half and half and bring to a boil while whisking. It should thicken. Salt and season to taste. If you want a more runny sauce add more half and half.

That’s all for today’s recipe!  I hope you enjoy it!
