Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 lb (450 g) baby potatoes
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Toss the potatoes: In a large bowl, halve the baby potatoes and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, ensuring an even coating for optimal roasting.
- Roast the potatoes: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are tender and golden brown.
- Prepare the garlic sauce: While the potatoes roast, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté the minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- Make the creamy sauce: Add heavy cream to the skillet and simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Combine and serve: Once the potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to a serving dish, pour the creamy garlic sauce over them, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet when roasting potatoes.
- You can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
- To make this dish vegetarian, ensure the Parmesan cheese used is vegetarian-friendly.
- Leftover potatoes with sauce can be reheated gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats or as a standalone vegetarian option.
