Ingredients
  

2 lbs baby potatoes, halved

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes: Fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, carefully add the halved baby potatoes. Cook them for 15-20 minutes until they are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes in a colander and set them aside to cool slightly.

    Create the Sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter and olive oil together. Once melted, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring continuously, until the garlic is fragrant but has not turned brown.

      Combine Ingredients: Pour the chicken or vegetable broth into the skillet, followed by the heavy cream. Stir well to ensure that everything is mixed together.

        Add Cheese and Seasonings: Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is fully melted and integrated into the sauce. Then, add the onion powder, smoked paprika, and season generously with salt and pepper. Continue stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

          Mix in the Potatoes: Carefully add the drained potatoes to the skillet. Gently toss them in the creamy sauce until they are evenly coated. Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for an additional 5 minutes, encouraging the potatoes to absorb the rich flavors of the sauce.

            Finishing Touch: Remove the skillet from heat. Generously sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top as a vibrant garnish. Serve the creamy garlic Parmesan potatoes hot as a delightful side dish that's sure to impress!
