Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or whole milk)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish.
  2. Slice the Yukon gold potatoes as thinly as possible (about 1/16th of an inch).
  3. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat with minced garlic until fragrant. Stir in flour to create a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Gradually add heavy cream, stirring continuously until thickened (about 5 minutes). Mix in Parmesan cheese (if using), thyme, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Combine sliced potatoes with the sauce in a large bowl and gently toss to coat evenly.
  6. Arrange potato slices upright in the greased baking dish, pouring any leftover sauce over them.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes; then remove the foil and continue baking for another 30 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
