Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp butter
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook Potatoes: In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the baby potatoes. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
- Make Garlic Sauce: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add Liquids: Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add Cheese and Seasoning: Stir in Parmesan cheese, thyme (or Italian seasoning), salt, and pepper. Let the sauce cook for another 2-3 minutes until creamy and smooth.
- Combine Potatoes: Add the cooked baby potatoes to the skillet and toss gently to coat them with the creamy garlic sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the potatoes to absorb the flavors.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving.
- You can substitute the Parmesan with grated mozzarella or cheddar for a different taste.
- If the sauce gets too thick, add a little more broth or cream to reach your desired consistency.
