Baby potatoes blend classic herbs with simple roasting techniques for a compelling side dish. Small potatoes emerge crisp outside and creamy inside, offering you a delightful complement to many main courses.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 pounds baby Dutch yellow potatoes
- 2 cups chopped onion
- 2 cups grated carrots
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ cup (4 tbsps) finely chopped parsley
- 2 tbsps olive oil or your preferred cooking oil
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Boiling Preparation: Submerge baby potatoes in salted water, simmering for 12-15 minutes until fork-tender, then drain completely in a colander.
- Flavor Foundation: Heat olive oil in a wide skillet, quickly sautéing minced garlic until aromatic, then add diced yellow onions and cook until translucent.
- Vegetable Layering: Incorporate grated carrots into the onion mixture, continuing to cook and develop deep, rich flavors.
- Sauce Creation: Dust the vegetable blend with all-purpose flour, stirring to prevent clumping, then gradually pour in heavy cream while continuously mixing to form a smooth, velvety sauce.
- Seasoning and Simmering: Allow the sauce to gently thicken, seasoning with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the overall taste profile.
- Final Integration: Carefully fold the boiled potatoes into the creamy vegetable sauce, ensuring complete and even coating of each potato.
- Presentation: Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley, and serve piping hot for maximum flavor and texture enjoyment.
Notes
- Potato Perfection: Choose small, uniform baby potatoes for even cooking and consistent texture.
- Water Wisdom: Salt the boiling water generously to enhance potato flavor from the inside out.
- Drain Carefully: Let potatoes dry completely to prevent watery sauce and ensure better sauce absorption.
- Gentle Sautéing: Watch garlic closely and cook briefly to avoid burning, which creates bitter undertones.
