For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the flour before coating the potatoes. If you prefer a creamier texture, stir in a tablespoon of butter or a splash of cream during the last few minutes of simmering. These potatoes are also delicious with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or chives.
