Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with Reynolds Wrap Aluminum Foil. Set aside. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place the potato slices in a large pot and cover with cold water. Season generously with salt and bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander, allowing the potatoes to steam dry for 1 minute. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Rub a 10-inch baking dish with the whole garlic clove to infuse it with flavor. Generously butter the dish. Finely chop the remaining garlic from the clove. Set aside. (5 minutes)

04

Step

With the heat off, return the drained potatoes to the pot. Add heavy cream, thyme leaves, half of the Parmesan cheese, chopped garlic, melted butter, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Gently stir until the potatoes are evenly coated in the creamy mixture. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Arrange the potato slices in overlapping layers in the prepared baking dish. Pour any remaining cream sauce evenly over the potatoes. Place the baking dish on the prepared baking sheet to catch any drips. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. (45 minutes)

06

Step

Remove the foil from the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly. (20 minutes)

07

Step

Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cream sauce.
If you don't have fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme can be substituted.
Ensure potatoes are sliced evenly for uniform cooking.
To prevent sticking, generously butter the baking dish and consider using a non-stick baking dish.
The baking sheet lined with foil prevents messiness if the dish bubbles over in the oven

    I used a mandoline to slice the potatoes, and it saved me so much time. The potatoes cooked evenly, and the dish turned out perfectly.
