Ingredients
1.5 lbs baby potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and dry baby potatoes thoroughly. Cut larger ones in half if needed.
2. Toss potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer.
3. Roast for 25–30 minutes, shaking pan halfway, until golden and fork-tender.
4. While potatoes roast, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant (30 seconds to 1 minute).
5. Pour in heavy cream. Simmer gently for 4–5 minutes until slightly thickened. Add red pepper flakes if using.
6. Add roasted potatoes to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce.
7. Stir in chopped parsley and Parmesan if using. Toss gently.
8. Serve warm, spooning extra sauce over the top. Garnish with more herbs if desired.
