Ingredients
500 g baby potatoes 2 tablespoons butter 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 cup heavy cream 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut any larger ones in half to ensure even cooking. Boil the potatoes in salted water until fork tender, about 12–15 minutes. While the potatoes cook, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and stir, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Drain the cooked potatoes and add them to the skillet with the creamy garlic sauce. Toss gently to coat all the potatoes evenly. Sprinkle in grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
These potatoes are best served hot for maximum creaminess. Add a splash of cream when reheating to revive the sauce. Try using a mix of red and gold baby potatoes for extra color and flavor.
