Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel and thinly slice the potatoes, then set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Cream Mixture

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the heavy cream, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a gentle simmer.

  3. 3

    Layer the Dish

    In a greased baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and parmesan cheeses. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, cream mixture, and cheeses.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
