Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup half-and-half
  • 1 1/2 lbs. yellow baby potatoes scrubbed
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
  • fresh chopped parsley
  • Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place the potatoes in a pot, covering them with 2 quarts of cold water. Add the salt, then bring the water to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and let the potatoes cook uncovered for about 13 to 15 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a knife. Start checking around 12 minutes to avoid overcooking.
  • Meanwhile, as the potatoes cook, prepare the cream sauce. Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Gradually whisk in the flour, cooking for another minute until the mixture turns lightly golden. Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking continuously until the sauce begins to thicken.
  • Add the half-and-half, Parmesan cheese, and cayenne pepper, stirring frequently. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the thickness by adding more milk if needed.
  • Once the sauce is ready, toss the drained potatoes into the pan, making sure they’re fully coated. Finish by sprinkling fresh parsley on top before serving.
