Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.
Peel the russet potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Set aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and ground black pepper. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it just begins to simmer, then remove from heat.
Layer one-third of the sliced potatoes evenly in the prepared baking dish. Pour about one-third of the cream mixture over the potatoes. Repeat this process two more times, finishing with cream on top.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes.
Remove the foil and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the potatoes. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
Allow the potatoes to cool for 10 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld and the sauce thicken.
