- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 8 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tsp salt, or to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper, or to taste
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
- Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and halve any larger than 1.5 inches.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt.
