Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes (about 1/8-inch thick) using a sharp knife or mandoline. Set aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent discoloration.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Mince the garlic and sauté it in the butter until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the heavy cream and white wine, then season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and thyme leaves. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.
Drain and pat the potato slices dry. Arrange one-third of the potato slices in an even layer at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Pour one-third of the cream mixture over the potato layer and sprinkle with one-third of the Parmesan and Gruyère cheeses.
Repeat the layering process two more times (potatoes, cream mixture, cheeses), finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
Allow the gratin to rest for 10 minutes before serving to let it set. Garnish with additional thyme leaves if desired.
