Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  2. Thinly slice the Yukon gold potatoes using a mandolin or knife, aiming for about 1/16th of an inch.
  3. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter with minced garlic until fragrant. Stir in the flour to form a roux and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Gradually add heavy cream while stirring constantly until the sauce thickens (about 5 minutes).
  5. Mix in optional Parmesan cheese, thyme, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  6. Toss sliced potatoes with the warm sauce in a large bowl until evenly coated.
  7. Arrange potato slices upright in the greased dish and pour any remaining sauce on top.
