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
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the potatoes: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the halved baby potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 12–15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
  2. Make the garlic cream sauce: In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and optional finely chopped onion, sautéing for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and translucent. Stir in the heavy cream and broth, then season with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme or Italian seasoning. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3–4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  3. Combine potatoes with sauce: Add the cooked baby potatoes to the skillet, tossing gently to coat them thoroughly in the creamy garlic sauce. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and allow everything to simmer together for another 2–3 minutes to meld flavors.
  4. Serve: Garnish the creamy garlic sauce baby potatoes with fresh chopped parsley. Serve warm as a delightful side dish alongside roasted meats, chicken, or seafood.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use butter instead of olive oil for the sauce.
  • Adjust salt and seasoning according to taste preferences.
  • The optional onion adds extra depth but can be omitted for a purer garlic flavor.
  • Can be made vegetarian by using vegetable broth and omitting Parmesan or substituting with a vegetarian cheese alternative.
  • Ensure potatoes are thoroughly drained to prevent watery sauce.
