Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 cups (shredded) Sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon (chopped) Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon (chopped) Fresh thyme
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon (for greasing) Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Wash, peel (if desired), and thinly slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds. Use a mandoline slicer for even thickness if available.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then add the heavy cream. Heat the mixture until warm but not boiling. Stir in the fresh rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of the cream mixture at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Arrange a layer of potato slices in an even, overlapping pattern. Sprinkle a third of the cheddar cheese and a third of the Parmesan cheese over the potatoes.

Step 7

Repeat the layering process: pour a portion of the cream mixture, layer potatoes, and sprinkle with the cheeses. Continue until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.

Step 8

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 10

Let the dish cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.

Step 11

Garnish with additional chopped herbs if desired, and serve warm as a hearty side dish.
