Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, add halved baby potatoes and cover them with salted water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat and let the potatoes cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 4-5 cloves of minced fresh garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden.
  3. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, along with ½ cup of vegetable or chicken broth, a pinch of salt, and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Fold the boiled baby potatoes into the creamy garlic sauce, ensuring each potato is well-coated. Lower the heat and let them simmer together for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the creamy mixture, adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve warm.
