Creamy Garlic Sauce Potatoes is a comforting side dish featuring tender boiled potatoes coated in a rich and velvety garlic-infused cream sauce, finished with Parmesan cheese for added depth and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 1 pound potatoes, washed, peeled, and diced

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Wash, peel, and dice the potatoes into small, even pieces to ensure they cook uniformly.
  2. Boil Potatoes: Place the diced potatoes in a large pot and boil until fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
  3. Make Garlic Butter: In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat, then add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
  4. Add Cream: Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring constantly to blend with the garlic butter smoothly.
  5. Season Sauce: Stir in salt and black pepper to the cream mixture to enhance the flavor.
  6. Combine Potatoes and Sauce: Add the cooked potatoes to the cream sauce and gently stir to coat the potatoes evenly with the creamy garlic sauce.
  7. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the potatoes and sauce, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and let the creamy potatoes simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  9. Rest and Serve: Remove from heat and allow the dish to rest for a few minutes to let flavors meld before serving. Enjoy as a rich, flavorful side or a comforting meal on its own.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk, but the sauce will be less rich.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese imparts better melting and flavor than pre-grated cheese.
  • Adjust garlic quantity based on preference for stronger or milder garlic flavor.
  • Use Yukon Gold or other waxy potatoes for best texture that holds well in the sauce.
  • Can be garnished with chopped fresh parsley or chives for a fresh finish.
