To make the sauce, add flour and garlic to the potatoes and cook for 2 more minutes. Turn heat to low and slowly whisk in chicken broth followed by paprika, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer, stirring often, until sauce has thickened and potatoes are cooked through, approximately ⏱️ 5-7 minutes. If sauce thickens before potatoes are completely tender, stir in additional chicken broth.
