Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a medium-sized ceramic baking dish.
Thinly slice the Yukon gold potatoes using a mandolin or sharp knife.
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter and cook the minced garlic until fragrant.
Stir in the flour to create a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes before gradually adding the heavy cream until thickened.
Mix in Parmesan cheese (if using), thyme, salt, and pepper until smooth.
In a large bowl, combine sliced potatoes with the creamy sauce and toss to coat evenly.
Layer the potato slices upright in the baking dish and pour any remaining sauce on top; sprinkle extra Parmesan if desired.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes; then uncover and bake for an additional 30 minutes until golden brown.
Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
