Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1.5 lbs Baby Potatoes (Tender and buttery.)
Sauce
- 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter (For richness.)
- 4 cloves Garlic (Minced, fresh is best.)
- 1 cup Heavy Cream (For a velvety texture.)
- 1/2 cup Vegetable or Chicken Broth (Low-sodium recommended.)
- 1/2 tsp Salt (Adjust based on taste.)
- 1/4 tsp Freshly Cracked Black Pepper (To taste.)
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard (Optional for extra flavor.)
Garnish
- 1 tbsp Chopped Fresh Parsley (For garnish.)
Instructions
- Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot, cover halved baby potatoes with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-12 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden.
- Make the Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream, broth, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard if using. Bring to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
- Combine Potatoes and Sauce: Gently fold the boiled potatoes into the sauce, ensuring every potato gets coated. Let them simmer together for an additional 2-3 minutes to marry the flavors.
- Finish and Serve: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, adjust the seasoning to taste, and serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.
- Adjust the amount of salt based on your broth’s sodium level.
- Ensure baby potatoes are evenly halved for consistent cooking.
- Use fresh garlic for the best aroma and taste.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
