Ingredients
- 1 lb 450 g baby potatoes, washed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Potatoes: In a large 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: Roast the potatoes in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and golden brown, turning them halfway through cooking.
- Make the 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, or until fragrant.
- Prepare the Creamy Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Add Parmesan: Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Serve: Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Pour the creamy garlic sauce over the roasted potatoes and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
- You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- If making ahead, store the sauce and potatoes separately to avoid sogginess.
