Starch Base:
- 2 packs baby potatoes
Seasonings and Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 head garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) butter
- 1/2 cup grated cheese (any brand)
- Fish sauce or salt to taste
- A little bit of sugar
Creamy Component:
- 1 pack (250 milliliters / 8.45 fluid ounces) all-purpose cream

- Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Submerge baby potatoes in generously salted water, boiling for 15-20 minutes until they yield easily when pierced with a fork. Drain completely and reserve.
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, introducing minced garlic and sautéing until aromatic, approximately 1-2 minutes.
- Incorporate paprika, ground black pepper, and salt into the butter-garlic base, stirring to distribute evenly.
- Stream all-purpose cream into the pan, whisking thoroughly. Adjust seasoning with fish sauce or salt, and introduce a hint of sugar to harmonize flavors. Allow mixture to simmer gently for 3-5 minutes.
- Manually crush potatoes, creating a rustic texture with varied sizes and a marbled appearance. Some chunks should remain intact for visual interest.
- Fold the creamy sauce into the potatoes, ensuring comprehensive integration and consistent coating.
- Introduce grated cheese, gently stirring until fully melted and seamlessly blended with the potato mixture.
- Elegantly transfer the potato medley to a serving vessel, garnishing with dried parsley and optional parmesan for an enhanced presentation.
- Present immediately while warm, suitable as an accompaniment or standalone dish for casual or sophisticated gatherings.
Notes
- Try different potato varieties like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for unique textures and flavors.
- Crush potatoes gently to maintain a rustic, chunky consistency that adds visual appeal and interesting mouthfeel.
- Control sauce thickness by adjusting cream quantity – add more for creamier result or less for lighter consistency.
- Replace dairy cream with coconut milk for a lactose-free or vegan alternative that maintains rich, creamy profile.
