Creamy Garlic Sauce Baby Potatoes are a culinary experience. Tender baby potatoes are bathed in a rich, velvety garlic sauce, offering a harmonious blend of earthy goodness and luxurious savoriness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds (900 g) baby potatoes, halved
- 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
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and pat dry baby potatoes. Halve or quarter larger potatoes for uniform size.
- Drizzle potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter). Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-35 minutes, tossing halfway, until fork-tender and golden-brown. Remove from oven and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter) over medium-low heat. Sauté 4 cloves minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. If using, add 1 small chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
- Pour in ½ cup chicken or vegetable broth. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until liquid reduces by half.
- Stir in 1 cup heavy cream, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low and let thicken slightly.
- Stir in ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth and velvety. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Add roasted potatoes to the skillet with the sauce (heat very low or off). Gently toss until all potatoes are fully coated. Garnish with 2 tablespoons fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
