Instructions
Creating Creamy Garlic Sauce Baby Potatoes is simple and rewarding. Follow these steps for a delightful dish:
1. Prepare Potatoes: Rinse the baby potatoes thoroughly under cold water. Pat dry with a towel.
2. Boil Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large pot, and cover with water. Add a teaspoon of salt to the water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until tender.
3. Drain Potatoes: Once tender, drain the potatoes and set them aside.
4. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for just 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
5. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and the vegetable or chicken broth into the skillet with the garlic. Stir well to combine.
6. Season: Add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to thicken for about 3-4 minutes.
7. Combine: Carefully add the drained potatoes to the skillet, tossing them in the creamy garlic sauce until they are well coated.
8. Simmer: Allow the potatoes to cook in the sauce for an additional 5-7 minutes on low heat so that they absorb the flavors.
9. Garnish: Once the sauce is thickened and the potatoes are heated through, remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
These steps will guide you through creating a dish that’s not only delicious but also visually appealing.
