Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife. Place them in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the melted butter. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream, milk, and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine, then remove the mixture from the heat.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Arrange half of the potato slices in an even layer in the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the garlic cream mixture over the potatoes and sprinkle with half of the grated Parmesan cheese.
Layer the remaining potato slices on top, then pour over the rest of the garlic cream mixture. Top with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the top is golden and bubbling.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley on top before serving. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving warm.
