Scalloped Potatoes

Prepare the Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream and milk, then season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme (if using). Let the mixture heat through but don’t bring to a boil.

Layer the Potatoes: Arrange a layer of thinly sliced potatoes at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour some of the cream mixture over the potatoes, followed by a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. Repeat this layering process until all the potatoes, cream mixture, and cheese are used up.

Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

Add the Parmesan and Finish Baking: After 45 minutes, remove the foil, sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese, and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.

Serve: Let the scalloped potatoes sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and enjoy!
