  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup vegetable or chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, cover halved baby potatoes with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 10–12 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.

  4. Add the boiled potatoes to the skillet and gently toss until all potatoes are coated in the creamy garlic sauce. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, adjust seasoning to taste, and serve warm.

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of broth or cream if the sauce thickens.
