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 the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a medium-sized ceramic baking dish.
  2. Thinly slice the Yukon gold potatoes using a mandolin or sharp knife and set aside.
  3. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Stir in the flour to create a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream until thickened (about 5 minutes). Add Parmesan cheese (if using), thyme, salt, and pepper; mix until smooth.
  5. Pour the sauce over the sliced potatoes in a large bowl, gently tossing to coat evenly.
  6. Arrange the potato slices upright in the greased baking dish, pouring any remaining sauce on top. Sprinkle extra cheese if desired.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 30 minutes until golden brown.
