Instructions
To prepare Creamy Garlic Sauce Baby Potatoes, follow these simple steps:
1. Prep the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut any larger ones in half to ensure even cooking.
2. Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot, add the baby potatoes and enough water to cover them. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
3. Drain the Potatoes: Once cooked, drain the potatoes in a colander and set aside.
4. Make the Sauce: In the same pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
5. Add Cream and Herbs: Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the dried thyme. Season generously with salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
6. Combine Potatoes and Sauce: Add the boiled baby potatoes back into the pot, tossing them gently in the creamy garlic sauce until well coated.
7. Simmer: Allow the potatoes to simmer in the sauce for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing them to soak up the flavors.
8. Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley on top before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
By following these steps, you’ll create a rich and creamy side dish that everyone will enjoy!
