Ingredients

• 6 large Russet potatoes
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the russet potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife for even thickness.

Step 3

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Chop the parsley and set it aside for garnish.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream, butter, and minced garlic over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Do not let it boil.

Step 5

Layer half of the sliced potatoes into the prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with half of the salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Pour half of the warm cream mixture evenly over the potatoes.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining potatoes, seasonings, Parmesan cheese, and cream mixture, ensuring the top layer is evenly covered.

Step 8

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly, and the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 10

Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
