Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash and peel the russet potatoes, then slice them thinly (about 1/8-inch thick).
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream, adding thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter. Layer half of the potato slices at the bottom, slightly overlapping them.
  6. Pour half of the creamy sauce over the first layer of potatoes, then sprinkle half of the cheddar and Parmesan cheese over it.
  7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 with the remaining potato slices, sauce, and cheeses, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.
  8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.
  9. Let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
