Description
These Easy Creamy Garlic Sauce Baby Potatoes are tender, buttery, and coated in a rich garlic cream sauce that’s bursting with flavor. They make the perfect side dish for any meal — from roasted meats to grilled seafood — and come together quickly with simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes (halved if large)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Place baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10–12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant (do not brown).
- Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Add cooked potatoes to the skillet and toss gently to coat in the creamy garlic sauce.
- Cook for another 2–3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and cling to the potatoes.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, roast the potatoes before tossing them in the sauce.
- Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter version.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick.
- This sauce also pairs beautifully with pasta or steamed vegetables.
