Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes (red or gold)
Sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Garnish
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Boil Potatoes: Place the baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10–12 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for 1–2 minutes until fragrant to infuse the oil with garlic flavor.
- Prepare Sauce: Add the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Thicken Sauce: Cook the sauce for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly and becomes creamy.
- Combine Potatoes and Sauce: Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet and toss gently to coat them thoroughly in the creamy garlic sauce.
- Warm Through: Simmer the potatoes in the sauce for another 2–3 minutes to ensure they are warmed through and well flavored.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for freshness and color, then serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor and texture, lightly mash some of the potatoes before tossing them in the sauce.
- To make a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half.
- This recipe works well with either red or gold baby potatoes.
- The dish can be prepared ahead and gently reheated on the stovetop before serving.
