Ingredients:
- 20 baby potatoes
- 2 heads of garlic
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cups cream
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Roast Garlic: Take the garlic heads and cut off the top to expose the cloves. Place them in a shallow baking pan and roast them in the preheated oven until they become soft and golden brown, typically taking around 30 minutes.
-
Prepare Potatoes: While the garlic is roasting, prepare the baby potatoes. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
-
Boil Potatoes: In a large pot, cover the potatoes with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow the potatoes to cook until they are tender when pierced with a fork, usually taking about 10-15 minutes depending on their size.
-
Drain Potatoes: Once the potatoes are tender, drain them thoroughly in a colander to remove excess water.
-
Transfer Potatoes: Transfer the drained potatoes to a hot baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spread out.
-
Prepare Garlic Cream Sauce: By now, the roasted garlic should be soft and fragrant. Squeeze each garlic clove gently to extract the soft, roasted garlic from the papery skin.
-
Heat Butter and Cream: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the roasted garlic cloves to the pan, followed by the cream. Gently warm the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the cream is heated through and infused with the delicious garlic flavor.
-
Combine Potatoes and Sauce: Once the cream mixture is ready, pour it over the hot potatoes in the baking dish, ensuring that all the potatoes are evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
-
Serve: Garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley or chives for a pop of color and added freshness. Serve the Garlic Cream New Potatoes hot as a delightful side dish or enjoy them as a satisfying main course.
