Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Peel and thinly slice the Yukon gold potatoes into even rounds, placing them in cold water to prevent browning.
  3. Melt 4 tbsp of unsalted butter in a pot over medium heat, then add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour with the melted butter and garlic, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 2 tsp of fresh thyme, and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Drain the sliced potatoes and add them to the pot, gently tossing to coat.
  8. Arrange the potato slices upright in the greased baking dish and pour any remaining garlic cream sauce over them.
  9. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
  10. Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving.
