Instructions

  1. Chop the onion and celery to a similar size for even cooking.
  2. Heat a large dutch oven over medium heat. Add butter and olive oil, then onions and celery. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 4-6 minutes until translucent.
  3. Peel and dice the potatoes. Add them and minced garlic to the pot, sautéing for another 5 minutes.
  4. Add vegetable stock and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring often. Cook for 14-18 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender.
  5. Mash the potatoes for creaminess, or leave some chunks for texture.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in cheddar and Parmesan cheeses and sour cream, adjusting seasoning as needed.

Notes

  1. Perfect for leftovers; they reheat beautifully. Feel free to customize with toppings like bacon or fresh herbs.
