Ingredients

• 6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash and peel the Yukon Gold potatoes, then slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, unsalted butter, garlic cloves (minced), and fresh thyme sprigs. Heat over low heat until the butter melts and the flavors infuse, about 5 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs and discard.

Step 4

Grease a baking dish (about 9x13 inches) with a thin layer of butter.

Step 5

Arrange half of the potato slices in an even layer at the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle half of the salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese over the potatoes.

Step 6

Pour half of the cream mixture evenly over the potatoes.

Step 7

Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes, salt, pepper, Parmesan, and cream mixture.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 10

Let the dish rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional Parmesan or fresh thyme if desired.
