Description
Delicious baby potatoes coated in a rich and creamy garlic sauce, perfect as a side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes (red or gold, halved)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt (more to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or oregano + thyme)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Boil potatoes: Begin by placing the halved baby potatoes in a pot of salted water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 10–12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Once they are done, drain and set aside.
- Make garlic sauce: In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until it becomes fragrant, but take care not to burn it.
- Add cream base: Next, stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Allow this mixture to gently simmer for 3–4 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
- Season & enrich: Now, mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and Italian herbs. Stir well until the cheese melts completely, giving you a rich and creamy sauce.
- Combine: Carefully add the boiled potatoes to the skillet. Toss them gently until all the potatoes are fully coated in the delicious creamy garlic sauce.
- Finish & serve: Once everything is combined, remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and serve warm as a delightful side dish.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–5 days. Reheat gently and add a splash of cream if needed.
