Ingredients
- Baby potatoes (whole or halved)
- Garlic cloves (fresh, minced)
- Butter

- Salt and pepper
- Fresh parsley or chives (for garnish)
- Optional: parmesan cheese, chili flakes
Instructions
- Cook Potatoes: Boil baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender. Drain well.

- Combine: Toss cooked potatoes in the sauce until evenly coated.
- Finish: Garnish with parsley, chives, or parmesan.

- Expert Tip: Always cook garlic over medium heat—burnt garlic turns bitter and can overpower the sauce.
Notes
- Baby potatoes hold their shape better than larger varieties.
- For a lighter version, swap cream for Greek yogurt or milk.
- Vegan option: use cashew cream or coconut milk.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently with a splash of milk.
- Sauce may separate if frozen—best enjoyed fresh.
