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 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 it thicken slightly.
- Combine Potatoes and Sauce: Gently fold the boiled potatoes into the sauce, ensuring every potato gets coated. Let them simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Finish and Serve: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, adjust seasoning to taste, and serve warm.
Notes
- Halve the baby potatoes to ensure even cooking and quicker boiling.
- Use low-sodium broth to control salt levels in the dish.
- Dijon mustard is optional but adds a subtle tang that complements the creamy garlic sauce.
- Cook garlic gently to avoid burning and bitterness.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and butter with olive oil.
