Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Ranch seasoning mix
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Add the halved potatoes to the skillet, cut side down. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes, or until the cut sides are golden brown and caramelized.
Stir the potatoes gently, then cover the skillet with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the minced garlic to the other side. Cook the garlic for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the potatoes and stir well to coat the potatoes evenly.
Pour in the heavy cream, stirring gently to combine, and allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy!
