Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings and Aromatics:
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Fill a pot with water, add salt, and bring to a rolling boil. Gently add baby potatoes and cook for 12-15 minutes until easily pierced with a fork.
- Drain potatoes in a colander and let them rest while preparing the sauce.
- Place a skillet over medium heat and combine olive oil with butter until melted and bubbling.
- Add finely chopped garlic to the pan, stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes to release its aromatic essence without browning.
- Pour heavy cream into the skillet, whisking smoothly with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to thicken and develop a rich, velvety consistency.
- Carefully fold the boiled potatoes into the creamy garlic sauce, ensuring each potato is generously coated.
- Season the mixture with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the potatoes for a vibrant garnish and added freshness.
- Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy while the sauce is warm and creamy.
Notes
- Prevent overcooking potatoes by testing doneness with a fork, ensuring they remain firm yet tender without becoming mushy.
- Enhance sauce creaminess by using room temperature heavy cream, which blends more smoothly and reduces risk of sauce separation.
- Customize the dish for dietary needs by substituting heavy cream with coconut milk or cashew cream for a dairy-free alternative.
- Elevate flavor complexity by adding roasted garlic or a pinch of red pepper flakes for subtle heat and depth.
