Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds new potatoes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly under cold running water. Cut any large potatoes in half while keeping smaller ones whole for uniform cooking.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant but not browned.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine and let it simmer gently for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the cream mixture. Sprinkle in salt and black pepper, and gently stir to coat the potatoes evenly with the sauce. Let the potatoes simmer in the cream for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. If desired, sprinkle the dish with Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
Serve hot as a side dish and enjoy the creamy, garlicky goodness of these new potatoes!
