Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 packs baby potatoes
- 4 tablespoons (60 milliliters) butter
- 250 milliliters (1 cup) all-purpose cream
- 1/2 cup grated cheese
Seasonings and Flavoring:
- 1 head garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Fish sauce (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- Dried parsley (for garnish)
Optional Topping:
- Parmesan cheese (sprinkle)
Instructions
- Wash baby potatoes thoroughly and immerse in boiling water for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain completely and allow to cool slightly.
- Select a large skillet and melt butter over medium heat until it becomes frothy and golden at edges.
- Add finely minced garlic to the melted butter, stirring continuously for 30-45 seconds until aromatic and light golden.
- Introduce salt, freshly ground black pepper, and paprika into the garlic-butter mixture, creating a fragrant base with gentle stirring.
- Pour all-purpose cream into the skillet, whisking smoothly to integrate with existing seasonings. Adjust flavor profile with fish sauce or additional salt.
- Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sugar to harmonize the sauce’s savory notes, ensuring balanced taste.
- Gradually incorporate grated cheese, stirring consistently until sauce transforms into a silky, uniform consistency with no visible cheese lumps.
- Gently fold boiled potatoes into the creamy cheese sauce, ensuring each potato receives complete coverage without breaking delicate surfaces.
- Transfer the marbled potato mixture to a serving platter, elegantly dispersing potatoes for visual appeal.
- Finish by dusting dried parsley across the top and optional parmesan cheese sprinkle. Serve immediately while sauce remains warm and potatoes retain their tender texture.
Notes
- Choose small, uniform baby potatoes for consistent cooking and attractive presentation.
- Boil potatoes with skin on to retain nutrients and prevent them from becoming waterlogged.
- Grate cheese freshly for maximum melting and richer flavor compared to pre-packaged options.
- Adjust cream sauce consistency by adding more cream or reducing heat if too thick or thin.
