Instructions

Boil the Baby Potatoes: Wash and halve the baby potatoes. Place them in a pot, cover with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce: Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Make the Sauce: Add the heavy cream to the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and add thyme, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Combine the Potatoes and Sauce: Add the cooked baby potatoes to the skillet and toss them gently to coat in the sauce. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to allow the potatoes to soak up the flavors and crisp slightly.
Final Touches: Remove from heat, transfer the potatoes to a serving dish, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Optionally, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Serve: Serve warm as a side dish or snack.

Notes

Use Yukon gold or red potatoes as substitutes for baby potatoes if preferred.

To make this dish dairy-free, substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream or a dairy-free cream alternative and use dairy-free butter.

Add vegetables like spinach or peas to enhance the dish and make it more colorful.

If you prefer a spicier dish, add red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, or hot sauce to the garlic sauce.

This dish pairs beautifully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or can even be enjoyed as a standalone snack.
