Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 pound baby potatoes
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set aside.
  2. Prepare Garlic Butter Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Toss Potatoes in Sauce: Add the cooked baby potatoes to the skillet with the garlic butter. Pour in the heavy cream and gently stir to coat all the potatoes evenly.
  4. Simmer and Coat: Reduce the heat to low and let the potatoes simmer in the cream and garlic butter mixture for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the potatoes are well coated.
  5. Season and Serve: Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • Use baby potatoes of similar size for even cooking.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half.
  • Adding fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can enhance the flavor.
  • Be careful not to overcook the garlic to avoid bitterness.
