Ingredients

• 6 medium-sized Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 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 and slice the potatoes into thin rounds, approximately 1/8-inch thick. Use a mandoline slicer if available for even thickness.

Step 3

Mince the garlic and set it aside.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the heavy cream and milk. Warm the mixture for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, but do not boil.

Step 6

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of butter.

Step 7

Layer one-third of the potato slices evenly on the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, followed by one-third of the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan cheeses.

Step 8

Repeat the layering process with the next third of potatoes, salt, pepper, and cheeses.

Step 9

Finish with a final layer of potatoes and pour the warm cream mixture evenly over the entire dish.

Step 10

Top with the remaining cheeses, ensuring the top is fully covered for a golden, cheesy crust.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 14

Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for garnish and serve warm. Enjoy your cheesy delight!
