Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, washed and halved if large

Garlic Cream Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or cream alternative
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, or your choice), chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Potatoes: Start by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly and, if some are larger than others, cut them in half to ensure even cooking.
  2. Boil Until Tender: Place the baby potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook them until just tender when pierced with a fork, about 12-15 minutes.
  3. Sauté Garlic in Butter: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add finely minced garlic. Sauté until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn it.
  4. Add Cream and Simmer: Pour in the heavy cream and gently simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, stirring as you go to create a luscious, silky texture.
  5. Combine Potatoes and Sauce: Drain the baby potatoes and add them to the skillet, tossing gently to coat each potato in the creamy garlic sauce.
  6. Finish with Herbs and Seasoning: Sprinkle freshly chopped herbs, salt, and pepper over the potatoes. Toss again and cook for another minute to marry the flavors beautifully.

Notes

  • Cut larger baby potatoes for uniform cooking and texture.
  • Don’t rush sautéing garlic; let it gently brown to deepen the flavor.
  • Simmer the cream on low heat to avoid curdling and ensure smoothness.
  • Use fresh herbs to brighten the dish and keep it tasting vibrant.
  • Serve warm to fully enjoy the silky texture.
