Cheesy scalloped potatoes baked to perfection.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel and thinly slice the russet potatoes using a mandoline or sharp knife.

Prepare the Potatoes

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and stir in salt, black pepper, and paprika. Bring to a simmer and then remove from heat.

Make the Cream Mixture

In a greased baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes, then sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, cream mixture, and cheese.

Layer the Potatoes

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Bake the Dish

Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh thyme before serving.
