Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds creamer potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  • Wash potatoes and cut into eighths.
  • Put potatoes in a medium sauce pan and cover about an inch with cold water, bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat and cook stirring occasionally until fork tender; about 13 - 15 minutes.
  • When the potatoes have cooked for 7 - 8 minutes melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until they start to brown, about 3 - 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add milk and cook until thick and bubbly, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add sour cream, salt, pepper and sugar.
  • Drain potatoes and keep warm if the sauce isn't done yet. Over medium - low heat add potatoes to the sauce and stir until combined.

Notes

Cook times are approximate because the size of the potatoes, stove temperature and cookware may result in a variance.
