Ingredients
2 pounds russet potatoes
2 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme optional
Instructions
1. Peel and slice the russet potatoes into 1/8 inch thick rounds.
2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
3. Stir in heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Heat until warm but not boiling.
4. Layer potatoes in a buttered baking dish, overlapping slightly.
5. Pour the garlic cream mixture evenly over the potatoes.
6. Bake uncovered at 375°F for 50–60 minutes until golden and bubbling.
7. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow sauce to thicken.
Notes
Use a mandoline for even, thin slices that cook uniformly.
Don’t substitute half-and-half or milk—the heavy cream is essential for richness.
Bake uncovered to get that golden, slightly crispy top.
