Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline. Rinse and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Stir the heavy cream into the saucepan with the garlic and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add salt, black pepper, and thyme leaves, stirring to combine. Turn off the heat and set aside.

Step 5

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 6

Arrange one layer of potato slices at the bottom of the dish. Pour a small amount of the cream mixture over the potatoes and sprinkle some cheddar and Parmesan cheese on top.

Step 7

Repeat layering the potatoes, cream mixture, and cheeses until you have used all the ingredients. Ensure the top layer is generously covered with cheese.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly, and the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 10

Let the potato bake rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set. Garnish with additional thyme leaves if desired.
