Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds red bliss potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese
Instructions
Wash the red bliss potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces, leaving the skin on for added flavor and texture.
In a large pot, add the potato pieces and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook the potatoes for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
While the potatoes are cooking, finely mince the garlic and chop the fresh parsley.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Heat the mixture gently, making sure it does not boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly and transfer them back to the pot.
Pour the buttery cream sauce over the potatoes and gently toss to coat all the pieces evenly.
Sprinkle the fresh parsley and grated parmesan cheese over the potatoes, then toss again lightly.
Serve warm as a side dish, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
