Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Milk
• 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the potato slices in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Cook the potatoes for 5-7 minutes on each side, until golden and crispy. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and steam the broccoli for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Remove the broccoli from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to make a roux.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook the sauce, stirring often, for 3-4 minutes until thickened.

Step 8

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan until melted and smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Return the cooked potatoes and broccoli to the skillet, folding them gently into the cheese sauce to coat evenly.

Step 10

Sprinkle with a pinch of paprika for garnish, if desired, and serve warm.
