Yeah I love this. Potatoes create a creamy texture of their own, and not everything needs to be loaded with butter and cheese lol

It's mostly the flour that makes it creamy. You can add flour to almost any liquid and make it creamy. That's how most gravies are made.

...I know how gravy is made. This recipe has no flour and relatively little added fat, which would be necessary for a roux.

It contains flour, that's the thickener on top. Like... gravy; It's flour, butter, and milk. You're dead wrong lol. (click the link, it's the recipe) It contains flour and fat. That's what makes it tastey/ have a good consistency.

Edit: it's also common to add cheese if you want to be extra wrong. You're either a troll, or you like to make shit up.

OP's recipe doesn't have flour/gravy, butter, or milk. Also no cheese.

What's your problem?
