Creamy Garlic Baby Potatoes (Printable Version)

Oven-roasted baby potatoes coated in creamy garlic sauce with Parmesan and fresh parsley for vibrant flavor.

# Ingredients:

→ Potatoes

01 - 500 grams baby potatoes, halved

→ Roasting

02 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
03 - Salt, to taste
04 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Creamy Garlic Sauce

05 - 30 grams unsalted butter
06 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
07 - 120 milliliters heavy cream, full fat
08 - 40 grams freshly grated Parmesan cheese
09 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure even roasting.
02 - Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Pat them completely dry to promote crispness. Toss with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
03 - Arrange the potatoes cut side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them adequately. Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through for even golden browning.
04 - While potatoes roast, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, avoiding browning.
05 - Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching and allow slight thickening.
06 - Remove the sauce from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and smooth, forming a velvety texture.
07 - Transfer roasted potatoes to a serving dish, pour the creamy garlic sauce over them, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately while hot.

# Notes:

01 - Patting potatoes dry before roasting is essential for maximum crispiness.
02 - Allow cream to reach room temperature before combining with hot pan ingredients to prevent curdling.
03 - Potatoes can be parboiled up to a day in advance to reduce preparation time.
