Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs potatoes Yukon Gold or baby potatoes, washed and sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter for richness and depth of flavor
  • 4 cloves garlic minced (the key to the bold, savory sauce)
  • 1 cup heavy cream for a lusciously thick and creamy texture
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated (adds a nutty, salty kick)
  • 1 tsp salt balances the flavors
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper adds a subtle warmth
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped (for garnish and freshness)

Method
 

Prepare the Potatoes
  1. If using baby potatoes, slice them in half. For larger potatoes, cut them into 1/4-inch thick rounds to ensure even cooking.
Cook the Potatoes
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Add the potatoes and cook for about 8-10 minutes, until they are fork-tender but not falling apart.
  3. Drain and set aside.
Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce
  1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Pour in heavy cream, stirring constantly.
  4. Add Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Combine and Serve
  1. Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet, gently tossing them to coat in the garlic sauce.
  2. Simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the potatoes are fully coated and the sauce reaches a creamy consistency.
  3. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
