Ingredients
Scale

- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Boil the baby potatoes in salted water for 15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently. Once it begins to simmer, add the Parmesan cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Toss the cooked potatoes in the garlic cream sauce, making sure they are well-coated.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

- Add a squeeze of lemon juice or some lemon zest for a fresh twist.
