Ingredients
- 3 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground pepper
- 1 bayleaf
- 2 teaspoons thyme
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 ℉. Spray a 2 quart glass or ceramic baking dish with non stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Clean and dry the potatoes. Slice the potatoes evenly into 1/4 inch slices. You can peel the potatoes if you prefer before slicing, but it's not required.
- In a large pot or dutch oven add the milk, cream, salt and white pepper. Stir to combine.
- Add in the bayleaf, fresh thyme and garlic. Stir. Heat over medium/low heat just to heat the milk, not to bring to a boil.
- Add in the potatoes. There isn't enough cream to cover the potatoes. Carefully stir so that all of the potatoes are able to be warmed in the milk mixture.
- Using a slotted spoon remove the potatoes from the cream and lay in the baking dish in even layers.
- Pour the cream over the top of the potatoes.
- Top with shredded parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes uncovered at 350℉ until the potatoes are fork tender and the top is golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow the dish to sit for at least 10 minutes prior to serving, this allows time for the cream to thicken slightly while cooling.
