Description
Indulge in tender potatoes enveloped in a luxurious garlic cream sauce for a comforting and elegant dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs (900g) potatoes, peeled and diced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes: Begin by peeling and dicing the potatoes into uniform cubes for even cooking.
- Boil the potatoes: In a large pot, add the diced potatoes and cover them with cold water. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Cook until tender: Boil the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside.
- Start the sauce: In a separate saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Create the creamy base: Gradually whisk the heavy cream and milk into the garlic butter, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken slightly.
- Add flavor: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and the sauce is creamy.
- Combine: Add the cooked potatoes to the saucepan, gently stirring to coat them thoroughly with the creamy garlic sauce. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the potatoes are heated through.
- Serve: Transfer the creamy garlic potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy!
Notes
Make-ahead tips: Prepare the creamy garlic sauce in advance and store it in the fridge for up to three days. Rewarm gently before adding freshly boiled potatoes.
