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 they are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Make the Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream, broth, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard if using. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Combine Potatoes and Sauce: Gently fold the boiled potatoes into the sauce, ensuring each potato is well coated. Let the potatoes simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Finish and Serve: Sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve the creamy garlic sauce baby potatoes warm.
