Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a baking dish.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter with garlic until fragrant (about 1 min). Stir in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
  3. Slowly whisk in the cream and cook until slightly thickened (1-2 minutes). Add Parmesan, thyme, salt, and pepper; whisk until smooth. 
  4. Arrange the potato slices vertically in the baking dish. Pour the sauce over the top and sprinkle with more Parmesan if desired.
  5. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 30 minutes, until tender and golden on top.
  6. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
