Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat, and cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. In a Dutch oven, melt the butter. Once it’s melted, stir in the flour until smooth. Gradually add the milk and bring to a boil. Cook and stir until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the potato mixture (with the cooking liquid) to the saucepan with the roux. Stir in the salt and pepper. Mash the potatoes in the soup lightly, until the soup reaches your desired consistency. You could continue until each bite is thick and creamy, or leave some bits of potato if you prefer a chunkier soup. If desired, garnish each bowl with parsley, bacon and cheese.
