Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash and scrub 1 pound of baby potatoes under running water. Halve any larger than a golf ball and set aside.
  2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add the prepared baby potatoes. Cook for 12–15 minutes until fork-tender, then drain.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil or unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and an optional small chopped onion. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Reduce heat to low, then pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and ½ cup of broth. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until thickened.
  5. Season with ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme or Italian seasoning. Stir and adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Add the drained baby potatoes to the skillet, tossing gently until well-coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.
  7. Stir in ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese and simmer for an additional 2–3 minutes until melted.
  8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm as a comforting side dish.
