How to Make Those Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Melt 5 tablespoons (70g) of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Whisk in 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until a roux forms.
  4. Remove from heat and gradually whisk in 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream (or half-and-half) and 1/2 cup (120ml) chicken broth. Stir until smooth.
  5. Return to low heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Gently fold in 2 pounds (900g) cooked potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces.
  8. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Pour the potato mixture into a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  10. In a small bowl, combine 2 ounces (57g) crumbled Roquefort cheese, 1 tablespoon (14g) melted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika.
  11. Sprinkle the Roquefort mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
  12. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
