- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream

Step-by-Step Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and dry them well.
Use a fork to poke a few holes in each potato.
Place them directly on a baking tray and bake for about 50 to 60 minutes until soft inside.
While the potatoes bake, prepare the creamy garlic sauce.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently.
Add the parmesan cheese and continue stirring until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Once the potatoes are fully baked, slice them open carefully.
Fluff the inside slightly with a fork.
