Ingredients

Scale

The key to this dish lies in selecting the right ingredients that allow each flavor to shine. I always choose fresh garlic because it gives the sauce that vibrant punch only fresh can deliver. When it comes to potatoes, baby potatoes are ideal—they cook evenly and soak up the sauce without falling apart. I also like using a mix of butter and a splash of cream for richness, but you can swap cream for milk if you want something lighter.

  • 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes, washed and halved
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup heavy cream (or whole milk for a lighter option)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the halved baby potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Reduce to a simmer and cook the potatoes until just tender when pierced with a fork, about 12-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Let it simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  5. Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet and toss gently to coat them evenly with the creamy garlic sauce.
  6. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme leaves if using. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
  7. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
