  3. In the same skillet, lower the heat and add shallots and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
  4. Sprinkle flour over the aromatics, stir for 1 minute. Pour in cognac, deglaze for 2 minutes.
  5. Whisk in beef broth, add potatoes, thyme, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
