Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams new potatoes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 200 milliliters heavy cream
- 100 grams blue cheese (crumbled)
- 1 clove garlic (finely minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Wash the new potatoes thoroughly, leaving their skins on. Cut any larger potatoes in half to ensure even cooking. Set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the new potatoes and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
Add the crumbled blue cheese to the skillet, stirring until melted and fully incorporated into the cream. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Gently add the cooked potatoes to the skillet. Toss them in the blue cheese cream until fully coated. Allow them to simmer together for 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the potatoes to a serving dish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
