Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 1 pound potatoes

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Wash, peel, and dice the potatoes into small pieces to ensure even cooking.
  2. Boil Potatoes: In a large pot, boil the diced potatoes until fork-tender, then drain and set aside to remove excess water.
  3. Melt Butter: In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat to create the base of the sauce.
  4. Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, releasing its aromatic flavor.
  5. Add Cream: Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly to blend it smoothly with the butter and garlic.
  6. Season Sauce: Season the cream mixture with salt and black pepper, stirring well to distribute the flavors evenly.
  7. Combine Potatoes and Sauce: Add the cooked potatoes to the cream sauce and gently stir to coat each piece thoroughly.
  8. Melt Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the potatoes and sauce, stirring until the cheese melts and thickens the sauce.
  9. Simmer: Let the creamy potatoes simmer on low heat for 2-3 minutes while stirring occasionally to deepen flavors and thicken the sauce further.
  10. Rest and Serve: Remove from heat and allow the dish to rest for a few minutes before serving to let the sauce set slightly.
  11. Enjoy: Serve your creamy garlic sauce potatoes as a delicious side dish or enjoy as a comforting meal on their own.

Notes

  • Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for a creamier texture.
  • For extra richness, add a splash of grated nutmeg to the cream sauce.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste; you can add more garlic for a stronger flavor.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
  • To make it lighter, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
