Description
Creamy Garlic Skillet Potatoes — Tender potatoes, rich garlicky cream, and melt-in-your-mouth comfort—your new favorite 30-minute side.
Ingredients
-
1 lb white potatoes (unpeeled, cut into bite-sized pieces)
-
½ teaspoon sea salt
-
3 cloves garlic, chopped
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
½ cup heavy cream (or substitute with sour cream or half-and-half)
-
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan; add sea salt.
-
Rinse potatoes well and cut into bite-sized chunks, leaving the skin on.
-
Boil potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
-
In the same pan, melt butter over medium heat and sauté garlic until fragrant (1–2 minutes).
-
Return potatoes to the pan and add heavy cream, stirring gently.
-
Let simmer 2–3 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
For a tangy twist, substitute sour cream for heavy cream. Skin-on potatoes add texture and nutrients but can be peeled if preferred.
