Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) baby potatoes, washed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast the Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the potatoes for 25–30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and golden brown.
- Make the Garlic Sauce: While the potatoes are roasting, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Prepare the Creamy Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3–4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and smooth.
- Combine and Serve: Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving dish. Pour the creamy garlic sauce over the potatoes and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm.
Notes
- If using larger potatoes, cut them into smaller chunks to ensure even roasting.
- For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or smoked paprika to the garlic sauce.
- This dish is best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to preserve the texture.
- To make this recipe vegetarian-friendly, ensure your Parmesan cheese is made without animal rennet.
