Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cups Bread crumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a small amount of butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice them evenly into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. Use a mandoline slicer for precision if available.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the heavy cream into the saucepan. Add the thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir and heat the mixture gently until just warmed through. Do not let it boil.

Step 5

In the prepared baking dish, arrange a single layer of potato slices, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese on top, followed by a light sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Step 6

Pour about 1/3 of the cream mixture over the cheese layer. Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes, cheese, and cream. Finish with a top layer of cheese.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 50 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil, sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top, and bake uncovered for an additional 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a knife.

Step 9

Allow the dish to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional thyme if desired.
