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.
- Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden.
- Make the Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream, broth, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard if using. Bring to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes, letting it thicken slightly.
- Combine Potatoes and Sauce: Gently fold the boiled potatoes into the sauce, ensuring every potato gets coated. Let them simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes so flavors meld.
- Finish and Serve: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, adjust seasoning to taste, and serve warm for a creamy, flavorful side dish.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce before serving.
- You can substitute baby potatoes with small red or Yukon gold potatoes if desired.
- Using low-sodium broth helps control the saltiness, allowing better seasoning adjustments.
- Make sure not to overcook the garlic when sautéing to avoid bitterness.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with roasted meats, grilled chicken, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
