Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

1.5 lbs Baby Potatoes (Tender and buttery)

Sauce

2 tbsp Unsalted Butter (For richness)
4 cloves Garlic (Minced, fresh is best)
1 cup Heavy Cream (For a velvety texture)
1/2 cup Vegetable or Chicken Broth (Low-sodium recommended)
1/2 tsp Salt (Adjust based on taste)
1/4 tsp Freshly Cracked Black Pepper (To taste)
1 tsp Dijon Mustard (Optional for extra flavor)

Garnish

1 tbsp Chopped Fresh Parsley (For garnish)

Instructions

Boil the Potatoes: 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.
Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden.
Make the Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream, broth, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard if using. Bring to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes, letting it thicken slightly.
Combine Potatoes and Sauce: Gently fold the boiled potatoes into the sauce, ensuring every potato gets coated. Let them simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Finish and Serve: Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, adjust seasoning to taste, and serve warm.

Notes

Use fresh garlic for best taste and aroma.
Halving the baby potatoes ensures they cook evenly and absorb more sauce flavor.
Use low-sodium broth to control saltiness, especially when adding salt separately.
Dijon mustard is optional but adds a nice tangy depth to the sauce.
Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy sauce at its best consistency.
