Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams baby potatoes
- 150 grams frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup vegetable broth
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Rinse and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size, to ensure even cooking.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the cooked potatoes and frozen peas to the skillet. Stir gently to coat them in the cream sauce.
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve the Potatoes and Peas in Cream warm as a side dish or with crusty bread for a satisfying main course.
