Ingredients
Scale
Baby Potatoes:
- 1 ½ lbs baby potatoes (halved)
Garlic Sauce:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Boil the Baby Potatoes: Boil the baby potatoes in salted water for 10–12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the Garlic Sauce: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and stir in Parmesan cheese and thyme. Cook for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Combine Potatoes and Sauce: Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet, toss to coat evenly in the creamy garlic sauce. Season with salt and pepper, cook for an additional 2–3 minutes to allow the sauce to cling to the potatoes.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- You can roast the potatoes instead of boiling for extra texture.
- Substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
