Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
Sauce
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Boil the Potatoes: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
- Make the Garlic Sauce: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Add Parmesan: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, cooking until the cheese melts smoothly into the sauce. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Combine: Gently toss the boiled potatoes into the creamy garlic sauce in the skillet, making sure each potato piece is well-coated with the sauce.
- Serve: Garnish the creamy garlic potatoes with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- Ensure the potatoes are cut to roughly the same size for even cooking.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and smoother sauce.
- You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter sauce, but it may not be as thick.
- Be careful not to overcook the garlic to avoid bitterness.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
