Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs (680 grams) baby potatoes
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) Parmesan cheese, grated
Flavor Enhancers:
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) butter
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Seasonings:
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Submerge baby potatoes in generously salted water, allowing them to simmer for 12-15 minutes until easily pierced with a fork. Carefully drain and reserve.
- Position a large skillet over medium heat, introducing butter to melt smoothly. Introduce minced garlic, stirring until aromatic and translucent, approximately 60 seconds.
- Pour heavy cream into the skillet, reducing heat to create a gentle simmer. Let the liquid reduce and thicken for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Incorporate freshly grated Parmesan cheese, finely chopped parsley, salt, and cracked pepper. Whisk continuously until the sauce transforms into a silky, uniform consistency.
- Gently introduce the prepared potatoes into the creamy garlic sauce, delicately rotating to ensure complete coverage. Allow the potatoes to warm through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the glistening potatoes to a serving platter, embellishing with additional sprigs of parsley or a delicate dusting of Parmesan cheese for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Choose small, uniform baby potatoes for even cooking and a visually appealing dish.
- Add enough salt to boiling water to enhance the potatoes’ natural flavor before cooking.
- Adjust garlic quantity based on personal preference, using fresh minced garlic for a more robust taste.
- Control sauce thickness by simmering longer for a thicker texture or adding more cream for a lighter consistency.
- Use lactose-free cream and vegan Parmesan for a dairy-free version, or swap butter with olive oil for a lighter alternative.
