Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Boil the Potatoes: Place 1.5 pounds of baby potatoes in a large pot covered with salted cold water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10-12 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and let steam dry.
  2. Roast the Potatoes: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  3. Prepare the Garlic Sauce: Melt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add 4 cloves minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Make It Creamy: Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, stirring constantly. Simmer for 4-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Add Finishing Touches: Stir in optional chili flakes, 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, and lemon zest. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
  6. Bring It All Together: Transfer roasted potatoes to a serving bowl and pour the garlic cream sauce over them. Toss gently to coat well.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!
