Ingredients You’ll Need
To make these Creamy Garlic Sauce Baby Potatoes, you’ll only need a handful of ingredients, most of which you probably have on hand:
1 lb (450 g) baby potatoes, washed and halved
Salt and pepper to taste
These ingredients combine to give you crispy, golden baby potatoes topped with a rich, creamy sauce that’s packed with garlic flavor.
Step-by-Step Directions for Creamy Garlic Sauce Baby Potatoes
1. Preheat the Oven
To get started, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
2. Prepare the Potatoes
Toss your halved baby potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on your lined baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
3. Roast the Potatoes
Place the potatoes in the preheated oven and roast for about 25-30 minutes. Turn the potatoes halfway through roasting to get them crispy and golden brown on all sides.
4. Make the Garlic Sauce
While your potatoes are roasting, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant—don’t let the garlic burn, or it will turn bitter!
5. Prepare the Creamy Sauce
Stir in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let the sauce cook for about 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
6. Add the Parmesan Cheese
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. The heat will melt the cheese, making the sauce smooth and velvety.
7. Serve the Potatoes
Once your potatoes are roasted to perfection, transfer them to a serving dish and pour the creamy garlic sauce over them. Garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
