Ingredients

2 pounds russet potatoes (thinly sliced)
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
1 cup Gruyère cheese (shredded)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with unsalted butter.
Slice the russet potatoes evenly using a mandoline or sharp knife.
In a medium saucepan, combine heavy cream, whole milk, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme; gently simmer until mixed.
Layer half the potato slices in the baking dish, pour half the cream mixture over them, then sprinkle half of each cheese on top. Repeat the layers.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
Let it cool slightly before garnishing with chopped parsley and serving.
