Ingredients
- 1½ lbs Yukon Gold or red potatoes, sliced or quartered
- 2 tbsp butter
- 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: fresh thyme or chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a baking dish.
- Boil sliced potatoes in salted water for 8–10 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Cook until slightly thickened, about 3–5 minutes.
- Arrange potatoes in the baking dish and pour sauce evenly over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until bubbly and golden.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.
Notes
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or a teaspoon of Dijon mustard for extra depth.

- For a cheesier version, top with shredded mozzarella or Gruyère before baking.
- Use plant-based alternatives to make it dairy-free.
