Ingredients

• 6 large Russet potatoes
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves finely.

Step 4

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Butter a 9x13-inch baking dish or casserole dish to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Arrange a single layer of potato slices in the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle a handful of cheddar cheese and a small amount of Parmesan cheese over the potatoes. Drizzle with the cream mixture.

Step 7

Repeat these layers (potatoes, cheeses, cream mixture) until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped chives for garnish before serving.
