Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes, halved or quartered if large
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh thyme leaves)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Boil Potatoes:
Place the baby potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Make Garlic Cream Sauce:
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Add Cream & Cheese:
Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese and thyme, mixing until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
Combine:
Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet and toss gently to coat them evenly in the creamy sauce.
Serve:
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm and garnish with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs, if desired.
Notes
Use fresh thyme or parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Substitute half-and-half for a lighter version.
Try adding crispy bacon bits or chopped chives for extra flavor.
Works great as a side for roast chicken, steak, or grilled salmon.
