Creamy GARLIC Potatoes | Possibly the BEST Potatoes EVER

These Creamy Garlic Potatoes are what comfort food is all about. We’re talking a ton of simple yet delicious flavors, basic everyday ingredients, and all done in about 30 minutes. Serve them as a tapas appetizer or even as a side dish. Either way, they promise to fill your body with so much goodness.

To make this recipe, I used yukon gold potatoes. It’s important to use potatoes here that are a bit more waxy than starchy. As they hold their shape better when being boiled. You can also use new potatoes, golden delight, or even red potatoes.

To make the creamy garlic sauce, I used a combination of low-fat milk and vegetable broth. You can also use whole-fat milk, nonfat milk, or even a plant-based milk to easily veganize this recipe. I also added a dash of grated Manchego cheese. But any other type of cheese can be used.

TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: You want to boil the potatoes until they are cooked al dente. It took me about 20 to 25 minutes. If you overcook the potatoes. They will start to break apart.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 lbs yukon gold potatoes 1 kilogram
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 45 ml
• 1 shallot (finely chopped)
• 6 cloves garlic (roughly chopped)
• 1 tbsp all purpose flour 8 grams
• 1 tsp dried oregano 1 gram
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme .50 grams

• 2 tbsp grated Manchego cheese 15 grams
• 2 tbsp chopped parsley 8 grams
• 2 tsp lemon juice 10 ml

Instructions

1. Cut the potatoes (peeled) into bite-sized pieces that are 2 cm thick (3/4 inch)

2. Add the cut potatoes into a stockpot, all in a flat layer, fill with water, just enough to barely cover the potatoes, season generously with sea salt, and heat with a high heat

3. While the potatoes are cooking make the creamy garlic sauce, heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in the olive oil

4. After a couple of minutes add in the chopped shallot and garlic, mix continuously, after 2 to 3 minutes and the shallot is slightly translucent, add in the flour, continue to mix for 2 minutes, then add in the oregano and thyme, quickly mix together, then add in the milk and vegetable broth, continue to gently mix together for a few minutes

5. Once you end up with a slightly creamy sauce, about 5 minutes, add in the grated cheese, chopped parsley, lemon juice, and season with sea salt & black pepper, mix together, then lower to a low heat

6. After boiling the potatoes for 20 to 25 minutes they should be done, you can always pierce them with a toothpick to ensure they are done, you kind of want them al dente, remove the stockpot from the heat and drain the potatoes into a colander

7. Gently add the potatoes into the pan with the creamy garlic sauce, mix together until well mixed, then remove from the heat

8. Transfer the creamy potatoes into a large serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley, serve at once, enjoy!
