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 and lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish.
  2. Thinly slice the Yukon gold potatoes using a mandolin or sharp knife.
  3. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Stir in flour to create a roux and cook for about 2 minutes.
  4. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream until the sauce thickens, around five minutes.
  5. In a large bowl, combine sliced potatoes with the sauce, ensuring each slice is well-coated.
  6. Arrange potato slices upright in the greased baking dish, pouring any remaining sauce over them and adding extra cheese if desired.
  7. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 30 minutes or until golden brown.
