• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the potatoes:

• Toss the cubed potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
• Spread them evenly on a baking sheet or in a large baking dish.

3. Roast the potatoes:

• Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes start to become tender.

4. Prepare the onion, garlic, and mushrooms:

• While the potatoes are roasting, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
• Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, about 5-7 minutes.

5. Make the sauce:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the flour with a little bit of vegetable broth to form a smooth paste.
• Add the remaining vegetable broth and heavy cream or milk to the skillet with the onions and mushrooms.
• Stir in the flour mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
• Add dried thyme or rosemary, salt, and pepper to taste.

6. Combine and bake:

• Remove the partially roasted potatoes from the oven.
• Pour the sauce with onions, garlic, and mushrooms over the potatoes, stirring gently to combine.
• If using, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
• Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fully tender and the sauce is bubbly and slightly browned.

7. Garnish and serve:

• Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
• Serve warm.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, you can add a splash of white wine or a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the sauce.
• If you like a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
