Ingredients

• 6 medium-sized russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 garlic cloves
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly into even 1/8-inch-thick rounds. Use a mandoline slicer for consistent results if available.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves finely.

Step 4

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

Step 5

Stir in the heavy cream and milk, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and stir in half the Parmesan cheese until melted and incorporated.

Step 6

Season the cream mixture with salt and black pepper, stirring to combine. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a small amount of butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 8

Arrange half the potato slices in an even layer in the bottom of the baking dish. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 9

Layer the remaining potato slices on top, then pour the remaining cream mixture over them. Spread the mixture evenly to cover all the potatoes.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top of the dish.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove the aluminum foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 13

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the creamy potatoes rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 14

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy!
