Step 3: Roast the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Spread the seasoned potatoes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast them for 30–35 minutes, flipping halfway through to achieve even golden crispiness.
Step 4: Make the Creamy Parmesan Sauce
While the potatoes roast, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in the grated parmesan until the sauce becomes smooth and velvety. Keep the heat low to avoid curdling.
Step 5: Combine and Toss
Once the potatoes are perfectly roasted, remove them from the oven and transfer to a large bowl. Pour the creamy parmesan sauce over the potatoes and toss until well coated.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for color and freshness. Serve hot as a side dish to roasted chicken, grilled steak, or even alongside seafood.
Why This Dish Stands Out
- Texture: The crispy edges of the roasted potatoes paired with the creamy sauce create a satisfying contrast.
- Flavor: Garlic, parmesan, and herbs complement each other beautifully.
- Versatility: It pairs with almost any main dish, making it a go-to side for both weeknight dinners and special gatherings.
- Comfort Factor: It’s hearty, cheesy, and packed with flavor, making it a crowd-pleaser every time.
Final Thoughts
This dish has easily become one of the most delicious side dishes I’ve ever made. The balance between crispy roasted potatoes and the rich parmesan cream sauce is simply irresistible. Whether you’re cooking for family, entertaining guests, or just treating yourself, this recipe is sure to win hearts and taste buds alike.
Would you like me to also create a lighter version of this recipe (using Greek yogurt instead of cream) for when you want a healthier side dish option?
