Creamy Golden Baked Potatoes

Folded in a mixture of cream, butter and herbs, makes this Creamy Golden Baked Potatoes a truly delectable dish.  It is a really rich to eat on its own, so try to prepare it as a side dish.

Creamy Golden Baked Potatoes

I usually cook it as a side dish and serve with basmati rice or yeast free garlic butter naan. I want to warn you though, if you are making this as one of your side dishes, it will be the first to be polished off… so make lots?

I cannot tell you how many times friends and family asked for this recipe whenever I baked it and were surprised at how easy it is to make. Prepared in a short time and with minimal ingredients this dish has proved to be a winner time and time again.?

Creamy Golden Baked Potatoes

The almost silky  textured sauce is achieved by using cream in the sauce. Fresh sprigs of rosemary or mixed herbs are sautéed in butter along with freshly ground black pepper. A bit of spice is never a bad thing so I sprinkle in a few dried chilli flakes, adding some color and spice. But as I always say, the spiciness in a dish is always optional and you can add as much or as little of it to your preference. And turmeric powder…this spice really deserves a post of its own. I can truly write an entire post about the wonderful health benefits  of turmeric. From its great health benefits to the beautiful golden colour it gives to food, this is one fantastic spice . From aiding in digestion, to serving as an anti inflammatory or even using as a natural antiseptic and antibacterial agent, useful in disinfecting cuts and burns and so many more benefits, I would say that this is an amazing spice to have in your kitchen, wouldn’t you. The turmeric  is added to give the potatoes a golden colour and also adds a delicious flavour.

Creamy Golden Baked Potatoes

To cut down on the baking time I just usually  parboil the potatoes in salted water, until they are softened but not fully cooked. Then remove from the heat and strain out the water.They should still be in slices and not broken into pieces. It should not be completely cooked, because it will continue cooking when you put it into the oven with the cream sauce. It is  then folded into the sauce and baked until golden.

Creamy Golden Baked Potatoes

So go ahead and impress your family and friends with this dish and remember what I said in the beginning…  if you are making  this as one of your side dishes, it will be the first to be polished off… so make lots?

Enjoy ♥

    Do you know how much I love potatoes? My family jokes that all I ate when I was 12 was potatoes, and that’s probably almost true. I still love them today and I’m absolutely making these beauties soon! Have a great week, Ashika!

    Loving the addition of the chilli flakes and the turmeric here Ashika. And as rosemary is one of my most favourite herbs, I wouldn’t say no to that either. Yummy!

    This sounds like a easier version of potato gratin. The creamy goodness with potatoes is totally scrumptious. This would totally be my main dish. No sides required:)

    THANK YOU for this recipe. I’m on the keto diet and in need of new ideas. Technically I can’t have taters BUT there is nothing wrong with a cheat day. Everything else on here is right up my diet’s alley! YUM, they look incredible.
