Ingredients

Units Scale

Baby Potatoes:

  • 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved if large
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Creamy Garlic Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and fork-tender.
  2. Prepare the garlic sauce: In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
  3. Make the cream sauce: Gradually whisk in the heavy cream until smooth. Stir in Parmesan cheese and thyme, and cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine and serve: Toss the roasted potatoes in the warm garlic cream sauce or pour the sauce over the potatoes in a serving dish. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute half-and-half or milk for a lighter sauce.
  • For extra richness, stir in a bit of cream cheese or additional Parmesan.
  • These potatoes pair well with steak, chicken, or roasted vegetables.
