Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 lb (450 g) baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Creamy Garlic Sauce
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even roasting.
- Toss Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, making sure each piece is well coated for even flavor.
- Roast Potatoes: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through to achieve a tender and golden-brown finish.
- Sauté Garlic: While the potatoes roast, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned to preserve its flavor.
- Make Cream Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts smoothly, creating a rich, creamy sauce.
- Combine and Serve: When the potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to a serving dish and pour the creamy garlic sauce over them. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness before serving.
Notes
- Use baby potatoes for quicker roasting and better texture.
- For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or fresh thyme before roasting.
- Make sure not to burn the garlic when sautéing to avoid bitterness.
- Grated Parmesan can be substituted with Pecorino Romano if desired.
- This dish pairs beautifully with grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
