Below is a detailed step-by-step guide to making these creamy roasted potatoes from scratch.

Ingredients

To prepare this recipe, gather the following ingredients:

For the roasted potatoes:

2 pounds baby potatoes (red or Yukon gold), halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder

For the creamy garlic parmesan sauce:

2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 cup heavy cream
¾ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes

Start by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Because baby potatoes have thin skins, there is no need to peel them. Simply cut them in half so they roast evenly.

Pat the potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel. Removing excess moisture helps them become crispier during roasting.

Step 2: Season the Potatoes

Place the halved potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add:

Olive oil
Salt
Black pepper
Paprika
Garlic powder

Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings. The oil helps the potatoes roast beautifully while the spices add flavor and color.
