Description
A delicious and easy recipe for creamy garlic sauce served with roasted baby potatoes, perfect for a comforting side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Spread them out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
- While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the creamy garlic sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the dried Italian herbs. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
- Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth. Allow it to simmer for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of water or additional cream to reach your desired consistency.
- Once the potatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven and drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the top. Toss gently to coat the potatoes in the sauce.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic sauce.
- You can substitute the baby potatoes with cauliflower florets for a low-carb option. Adjust roasting time as needed.
