Ingredients

Scale

Here’s what you’ll need for Creamy Garlic Sauce Baby Potatoes:

  • 1 lb baby potatoes (about 12–15 potatoes)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh, if preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon butter (for extra richness)

Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes:

  1. Boil the Potatoes: Place the baby potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Potatoes (Optional): For extra flavor and a crispy exterior, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the boiled potatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. Set aside.

Make the Garlic Sauce:

  1. Sauté the Garlic: In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil or butter if needed. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  2. Add the Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to ensure the cream doesn’t scorch at the bottom of the pan.
  3. Add Parmesan Cheese and Seasonings: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and dried thyme. Continue to simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine the Potatoes and Garlic Sauce:

  1. Toss the Potatoes in the Sauce: Add the cooked baby potatoes to the skillet with the garlic sauce. Gently toss the potatoes in the sauce until they are well-coated and the sauce has thickened around them.
  2. Simmer Together: Allow the potatoes and sauce to simmer together for an additional 3-5 minutes, letting the potatoes absorb some of the sauce’s flavor and the sauce thicken further.

Garnish and Serve:

  1. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh parsley on top of the creamy garlic potatoes for a pop of color and added freshness.
  2. Serve: Serve the potatoes warm as a side dish or as a comforting main course. Enjoy!
