Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, shallots, green onions, salt, and pepper. Sauté until softened and beginning to caramelize, about 4-6 minutes.
02
StepAdd the minced garlic and herbes de Provence. Continue to sauté until the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to burn it, approximately 30 seconds.
03
StepIncorporate the diced potatoes into the pot and toss to coat them evenly with the aromatic mixture. Pour in the vegetable broth and milk, stirring well to combine.
04
StepBring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer until the potatoes are tender and easily broken with a spoon, roughly 10-12 minutes.
05
StepUsing a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon, gently mash the potato chunks to achieve a relatively smooth consistency, leaving some texture for character.
06
StepWhisk in the crème fraîche and season to taste with additional salt and black pepper, if needed, to enhance the overall flavor profile.
