Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Wash, peel, and slice the russet potatoes into thin, even slices about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 3

In a large baking dish, lightly grease the bottom and sides with olive oil.

Step 4

Layer half of the potato slices in the baking dish, overlapping slightly to create an even base.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic. Let it cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Slowly whisk the heavy cream into the saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer. Remove from heat.

Pour half of the butter-cream mixture evenly over the potato layer.

Step 9

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the first layer.

Repeat the process by adding the remaining potato slices on top, seasoning them with the remaining salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 11

Pour the rest of the butter-cream mixture over the second layer of potatoes.

Step 12

Top with the remaining cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly.

Step 13

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