Creamy Garlic Parmesan Potatoes is a rich and comforting side dish made with tender cubed potatoes simmered in a creamy garlic and Parmesan cheese sauce. This easy recipe combines buttery sautéed garlic, heavy cream, and sharp Parmesan cheese to coat perfectly cooked potatoes, finished with fresh herbs for an elegant and irresistible flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds Russet or Yukon Gold Potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces

Garlic

  • 4 cloves Fresh Garlic, minced

Cream

  • 1 cup Heavy Cream

Cheese

  • 1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

Butter

  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter

Seasoning

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black Pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons Chives or Parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Potatoes: Wash, peel, and cut the potatoes into even 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt.
  2. Cook Potatoes: Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream, stir well, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes to slightly thicken the cream.
  5. Melt Cheese and Season: Reduce heat to low. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and smooth. Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Combine Potatoes and Sauce: Gently fold the cooked potatoes into the creamy sauce in the skillet, being careful not to mash them.
  7. Simmer Together: Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the potatoes to soak up the flavors from the sauce.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with finely chopped chives or parsley, and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
  • Reheat gently on the stove over low heat or in the microwave to preserve creaminess.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and melting quality.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream, though the sauce will be less rich.
