Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing 1.5 pounds of baby potatoes thoroughly under cold water, scrubbing off any dirt. Once clean, halve each potato to ensure they cook evenly.
  2. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the halved baby potatoes and cook for about 10-12 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and 1 cup of heavy cream, stir to combine, and let simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  5. Reduce heat to low, stir in 0.5 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 0.5 teaspoon salt, 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs until cheese is melted.
  6. Carefully add the drained baby potatoes to the skillet, tossing gently to coat them in the sauce. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat, transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm.
