Instructions
- Prep & Preheat:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or similar.
- Cook Garlic:
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant (don’t brown).
- Stir in cream, herbs, salt, and pepper; heat until just warm.
- Layer the Potatoes:
- Arrange a layer of sliced potatoes in the baking dish.
- Pour a little of the cream mixture over them and sprinkle some shredded cheese.
- Repeat layers until all potatoes, cream, and cheese are used.
- Top & Bake:
- Sprinkle Parmesan on top if using.
- Cover with foil and bake 30–35 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake 15–20 more minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh parsley.
✨ Tips & Variations
- Extra cheesy: Mix cheddar with Gruyère or Fontina for a richer flavor.
- Creamy garlic boost: Roast 1 extra head of garlic and mash into the cream before pouring over potatoes.
- Make ahead: Assemble the dish, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Bake the next day, adding 10–15 minutes to cooking time.
- Add onions: Thinly sliced onions between layers add sweetness and depth.

I can also give you a version with a crunchy breadcrumb topping for an extra golden, crispy finish if you want. Do you want me to do that?
