## Tips

- If you don't feel like roasting the garlic, just use roasted garlic seasoning.
- Make sure your potato cuts are very close in size or they will boil at different speeds.
- Potatoes absorb flavor, so make sure all the water is out of the potatoes before you start mixing it because water has no flavor.
- When simmering the cream mixture, only simmer, don't let it boil.
