Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by washing, peeling, and dicing about 2 pounds of your favorite potatoes into small, bite-sized pieces.

  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
  4. Once the butter is melted, add 3-4 cloves of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and light golden.
  5. Gradually pour in 1 cup of heavy cream while stirring to combine, heating for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, stirring well.
  7. Carefully add the cooked potatoes back into the creamy garlic sauce, gently folding to coat evenly.
  8. Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the mixture and stir until melted.
  9. Allow to simmer on low heat for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  10. Remove from heat and let it rest for a minute, then serve warm.
