Steps:
- 1. Cover potatoes (in an appropriate size pot) with water. Add boullion cube, butter, onion flakes and celery (and a little salt). Bring to a slow boil over medium heat and cook until potatoes are tender but not mushy (7 to 8 minutes). I use red potatoes because they are a firmer potato.
- 2. Combine flour and just enough cream to make a smooth paste. Gradually whisk in remaining cream. Once potatoes are tender, pour cream mixture into potatoes and continue cooking until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- 3. NOTE: serve as a side dish or load it with shredded cheese, crumbled fried bacon, sour cream, green onion,...etc and eat as a meal.
