Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 1/2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced (I keep mine with the peel)

  • Stir in the chicken bouillon, salt (if using), and pepper.
  • In separate saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and cook stirring constantly until thick.
