Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel and slice the russet potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/8 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Make the Cream Mixture

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Pour in the heavy cream, and add salt, black pepper, and thyme. Allow it to heat gently for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Layer the Potatoes

    In a greased baking dish, layer half of the potato slices. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes, then sprinkle with 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, cream mixture, and top with the remaining cheese.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Let the au gratin potatoes cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy, cheesy dish!
