Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb baby potatoes (washed and halved)
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- ½ cup parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Butter or Olive Oil: The choice between butter and olive oil can affect the final flavor. Butter lends a rich, smooth texture and flavor, while olive oil provides a lighter, healthier alternative. Depending on your dietary preference, both work well.
- Heavy Cream or Milk: The cream gives the sauce its velvety texture, but if you’re looking for a lighter version, you can substitute with milk or even plant-based cream for vegan options.
- Fresh Garlic: Fresh, minced garlic is key to creating the aromatic depth of flavor that defines the sauce. While garlic powder can be used in a pinch, freshly minced garlic provides a more intense and complex flavor.
- Salt and Pepper: Simple seasoning is often enough to enhance the garlic and cream without overpowering the potatoes. Adjust to your preference.
- Herbs: You can experiment with different herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or basil for additional flavor. Fresh parsley is also commonly used as a garnish to bring a burst of color and freshness.
