Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 lb (450 g) baby potatoes, washed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for roasting the potatoes.
- Prepare the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated. Spread them in a single layer evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast the Potatoes: Roast the potatoes in the oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and tenderness.
- Make the Sauce: While the potatoes roast, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant but not browned.
- Prepare the Creamy Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
- Add Parmesan: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it fully melts, yielding a smooth creamy sauce.
- Serve: Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving dish. Pour the creamy garlic sauce over the potatoes and garnish with the chopped fresh parsley for a fresh flavor and appealing presentation.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in the sauce.
- Turning the potatoes halfway ensures even roasting and crispy edges.
- For a lighter dish, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a dairy-free alternative.
- Leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and gently reheated.
- Adding grated Parmesan adds richness and depth, but can be omitted for a dairy-free version.
