Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Wash, peel (if desired), and thinly slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds. Use a mandoline slicer for even thickness if available.
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.
Spread a thin layer of the cream mixture at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
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.
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.
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.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let the dish cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
Garnish with additional chopped herbs if desired, and serve warm as a hearty side dish.
