Creamy Garlic Parmesan Roasted Potatoes

Step 2: Season and Roast the Potatoes

Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and dried thyme, tossing everything until each potato is evenly coated. Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer to ensure even roasting. Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce

While the potatoes roast, prepare the creamy sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1–2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

Next, stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually add Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until the sauce is smooth, thick, and creamy. Taste and season with a pinch of salt and pepper if needed.

Step 4: Combine Potatoes and Sauce

Once the potatoes are perfectly roasted, remove them from the oven and immediately transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm garlic Parmesan sauce over the potatoes, gently tossing until every piece is coated in the creamy goodness.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

For a fresh, vibrant finish, sprinkle chopped parsley over the potatoes. Serve immediately while hot and creamy. These potatoes pair beautifully with roasted chicken, steak, or even a hearty vegetarian main dish.

Tips for the Perfect Dish

• Crispier texture: For extra-crispy edges, broil the potatoes for the last 2–3 minutes of roasting.
• Cheese variation: Mix in a little mozzarella or Gruyère for an even creamier, cheesy layer.
• Make-ahead tip: Roast the potatoes in advance, but add the sauce just before serving to maintain creaminess.
