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.
