Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a ceramic baking dish with butter.
  2. Thinly slice the Yukon gold potatoes into even rounds, about 1/8 inch thick. Set aside in a bowl of water.
  3. In a large pot, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle in all-purpose flour over the butter and garlic mixture, stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  5. Gradually whisk in heavy cream into the roux and cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Add grated Parmesan cheese, fresh thyme, kosher salt, and black pepper, stirring well until cheese melts.
  7. Combine sliced potatoes with the sauce, ensuring each slice is well-coated.
  8. Stack coated potato slices in the greased baking dish and pour any remaining sauce over the top.
  9. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 30 minutes until golden brown.
  10. Let the dish rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
