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: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the halved baby potatoes and cook for 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

    Create the Sauce: In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.

      Combine Ingredients: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, followed by the heavy cream. Stir to combine.

        Add Cheese and Seasonings: Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Continue stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.

          Mix in the Potatoes: Gently add the drained potatoes to the skillet, tossing them carefully to coat evenly in the creamy sauce. Let them simmer for an additional 5 minutes on low heat to absorb the flavors.

            Finishing Touch: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot as a delicious side dish.
