Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 1.5 pounds small, uniform baby potatoes

Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut any larger potatoes in half for even cooking. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside while preparing the sauce.
  2. Make the Garlic Cream Sauce: In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant but not browned, about 1-2 minutes. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently, and bring to a low simmer.
  3. Add Cheese and Season: Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and stir continuously until melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer gently until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  4. Combine Potatoes and Sauce: Add the cooked baby potatoes to the pan, tossing carefully to coat each potato thoroughly with the creamy garlic sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld perfectly.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Finish by sprinkling freshly chopped parsley over the top for color and brightness. Serve warm for a comforting and delicious dish.

Notes

  • Choose baby potatoes with thin skins for better sauce absorption and even cooking.
  • Sauté garlic just until fragrant to avoid bitterness that can spoil the sauce’s flavor.
  • Use fresh grated Parmesan cheese for better melting and flavor compared to pre-shredded types.
  • Simmer the cream sauce gently without boiling to keep it silky and prevent breaking.
  • Toss potatoes in the sauce off the heat to maintain their texture and prevent the sauce from splitting.
