New Potatoes With Basil Cream Sauce image

This is sooo tasty! Great way to use summers yield of fresh basil. I know I have trouble coming up with ways to use it other than the obvious and this recipe is a good way to do so. You can also just use sliced regular potatoes. This recipe originally came from a southern living cookbook
