Ingredients

Scale

Main 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

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Toss Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, tossing well to coat evenly.
  3. Roast Potatoes: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and golden brown.
  4. Make Garlic Cream Sauce: While potatoes roast, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  5. Simmer Sauce: Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Add Parmesan: Remove sauce from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth, creating a rich and creamy garlic sauce.
  7. Combine and Serve: When potatoes are done, transfer them to a serving dish, pour the creamy garlic sauce over them, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use baby potatoes for best results—they roast evenly and absorb flavors well.
  • Adjust garlic quantity to taste if you prefer a milder or stronger garlic flavor.
  • Parmesan cheese adds savory depth; substitute with a vegetarian hard cheese if needed.
  • This dish is best served fresh but can be reheated gently on the stove or in the oven.
  • To keep it gluten-free, ensure all seasonings and ingredients are certified gluten-free.
