Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
