Ingredients for Baby New Potatoes With Creamy Parmesan Sauce

  • New Potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

How to Make Baby New Potatoes With Creamy Parmesan Sauce

  1. Wash and halve 1 pound of baby potatoes. Cover with cold water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until potatoes are tender but not falling apart.
  3. Drain the potatoes and set aside, keeping them warm.
  4. In a separate saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth.
  5. Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups of milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. Season the sauce with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
  7. Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
  8. Add the cooked potatoes to the sauce. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
