Baby Potatoes with Creamy Garlic Sauce

June 22, 2011 by Maureen 69 Comments

We love potatoes in our family. Just look at my backside and you’ll know for sure. One of our favorite potato dishes are these baby (chat) potatoes with a creamy, garlicky, buttery sauce.

They are a bit decadent so you wouldn’t want to have them often but we love them on veggie nights.  It’s not that they replace meat but they’re filling in the same way.

If you like garlic like we do, then give these a try. They’re really quick and easy to make and I’ve never had anyone not want seconds.

I’ve seen recipes where you slice these and fry them and then toss in the cream and reduce but I choose the easier route.

I scrub the potatoes and cut them into bite sized pieces and boil in salted water until just tender.  In a sauce pan I put two cloves of minced garlic and the butter and s l o w l y tease out the garlicky goodness over very low heat.  Then I add the cream and salt and pepper to taste and reduce the cream til it’s thick enough to coat the potatoes.  By the time the sauce is done, the little pieces of potato are done and it’s time to fill my belly !

            Here in Australia it’s called thickened cream but any fresh cream will work.

          Is heavy whipping cream in option? Because I have that at home and would like to use it. If heavy whipping cream as an option do you suggest reducing how much of it I use for increasing it? Thank you for your reply

    I love all the sweet, new potatoes at the markets, and always search for the new approaches. I agree, this cannot be an everyday fare, but what’s not to love?
    My mother makes them with a creamy dill sauce and they are divine.
    Husband can indulge on weekends, and I’ll try your garlicky potatoes.

    Yum! This is very similar to how we make potato salad in our family. We’d leave out the butter and cream and use olive oil and lemon instead, Middle Eastern style. I’ll blog it soon as it’s great for summer BBQs. But the richness of your recipe sounds better for a winter warmer, which I assume is needed in the Southern Hemisphere right about now?

      Hi Amethyst,

      Thanks for writing. I used regular whipping cream but even half and half would work. I live in Australia and our brands wouldn’t be the same and it’s been a long time since I left the states, so I might get American brands wrong. Honestly, just whipping cream the garlic and the butter along with some salt, pepper and parsley and you’ll be in heaven with this.
