Tender baby potatoes coated in a rich and creamy garlic sauce make the perfect side dish for any meal. This quick and easy recipe combines buttery potatoes with a flavorful, silky sauce that’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs (700 g) baby potatoes (yellow, red, or mixed), halved if large
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter option)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning (or a mix of oregano and thyme)
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Cook the Potatoes:

  1. Place the baby potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 12–15 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside.

Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

  1. In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika (if using). Simmer gently for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

Combine and Serve:

  1. Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly in the creamy garlic sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Make it cheesy: Add extra Parmesan for a richer sauce or sprinkle grated mozzarella over the top and broil for a cheesy crust.
  • Make it lighter: Substitute heavy cream with whole milk and add a teaspoon of cornstarch to help thicken the sauce.
  • Add protein: Toss in cooked bacon bits or grilled chicken for a complete dish.
