Instructions
Creating Creamy Garlic Sauce Baby Potatoes is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prep the Potatoes: Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. If some are larger, cut them in half to ensure uniform cooking.
2. Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot, add the washed potatoes and fill it with enough water to cover them. Stir in a pinch of salt, then bring to a boil. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender.
3. Drain and Dry: Once cooked, drain the potatoes and allow them to sit for a couple of minutes in the colander so they can dry.
4. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it!
5. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream slowly, stirring to combine. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
6. Add Potatoes: Carefully add the boiled baby potatoes to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat in the creamy garlic sauce.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
These steps will help you create a rich and creamy dish that is both simple and indulgent.
