Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds (900 g) baby potatoes, halved
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- ½ cup (120 ml) chicken or vegetable broth
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme (or Italian seasoning)
- ½ cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Cook the potatoes: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the halved baby potatoes and cook until they are fork-tender, about 12–15 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
- Make the garlic cream sauce: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and finely chopped onion, if using, and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- Add liquids and seasoning: Stir in the heavy cream and chicken or vegetable broth. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme (or Italian seasoning). Let the sauce simmer gently for 3–4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Combine potatoes and sauce: Add the cooked baby potatoes to the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly in the creamy garlic sauce.
- Add Parmesan cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and allow the mixture to simmer together for another 2–3 minutes to meld the flavors and thicken the sauce further.
- Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm as a delicious side dish to roasted meats, chicken, or seafood.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add finely chopped onion while sautéing the garlic.
- Use vegetable broth to keep the dish vegetarian.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
- Baby potatoes can be replaced with small new potatoes if unavailable.
- This dish pairs well with roasted chicken, grilled fish, or steak.
