Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Chicken broth
  • 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Place the cut potatoes in a large skillet. Add enough water to cover the potatoes and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes well.
  2. Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the olive oil. Once the oil is warm, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the black pepper.
  4. Add the drained, cooked potatoes to the skillet. Gently stir to coat them in the cream mixture.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

If the sauce becomes too thick while simmering, add a splash more chicken broth or cream to reach your desired consistency.
