Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
Garlic Sauce
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Boil the Potatoes: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cubed potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Sauce: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 3-5 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Add Parmesan: Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and cook until smooth and melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Combine: Gently toss the boiled potatoes into the creamy garlic sauce until well-coated.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Be sure not to overcook the potatoes; they should be tender but hold their shape.
- If you prefer a thinner sauce, reduce the cooking time of the cream slightly.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor; garlic powder will not give the same result.
- Parmesan cheese adds depth, but you can substitute with Pecorino Romano if desired.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
