Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1.5 lbs Baby Potatoes (Tender and buttery.)
Sauce
- 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter (For richness.)
- 4 cloves Garlic (Minced, fresh is best.)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream (For a velvety texture.)
- 1/2 cup Vegetable or Chicken Broth (Low-sodium recommended.)
- 1/2 tsp Salt (Adjust based on taste.)
- 1/4 tsp Freshly Cracked Black Pepper (To taste.)
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard (Optional for extra flavor.)
Garnish
- 1 tbsp Chopped Fresh Parsley (For garnish.)
Instructions
- Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot, cover halved baby potatoes with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-12 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside for later use.
- Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden brown, taking care not to burn it.
- Make the Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream, vegetable or chicken broth, salt, freshly cracked black pepper, and Dijon mustard if using. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Combine Potatoes and Sauce: Gently fold the boiled baby potatoes into the creamy garlic sauce, making sure each potato is well coated. Let them simmer together in the skillet for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the potatoes, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve warm as a rich and comforting side dish.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor intensity.
- Halve the baby potatoes evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- Low-sodium broth is recommended to control salt levels.
- Optional Dijon mustard adds a subtle tangy depth to the sauce.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and butter with olive oil.
- Garnish with fresh parsley to add color and freshness.
