Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs baby potatoes Yukon Gold or red potatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Large Skillet

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and halve the baby potatoes.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and tender.
  3. While the potatoes are roasting, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring, until the sauce begins to thicken.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  6. Add the hot roasted potatoes directly to the skillet. Gently toss to coat completely. Stir in the fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Tip 1: For extra crispy potatoes, you can broil them for the last 2-3 minutes of roasting.
Tip 2: Ensure your Parmesan is freshly grated. Pre-shredded cheese often contains anti-caking agents that can make the sauce gritty.
