Ingredients
  

  • 4 lbs RUSSET POTATOES
  • 2 cups HEAVY CREAM
  • 1 cup WHOLE MILK
  • 3 tbsp ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR
  • 4 tbsp SALTED BUTTER
  • 3 cloves GARLIC
  • 1 small YELLOW ONION
  • 1 tsp SALT
  • 1/2 tsp BLACK PEPPER
  • 1 tsp FRESH THYME

Instructions
 

Step 1:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees now. Let it get very hot and ready. This ensures the potatoes start cooking immediately.

Step 2:

  • Wash and peel all of your russet potatoes. Rinse them under cold water very well. Dry them with a clean paper towel.

Step 3:

  • Slice the potatoes into very thin rounds. Try to make them all the same size. This helps them cook at the same rate.

Step 4:

  • Grease your baking dish with plenty of butter. This stops the potatoes from sticking. Do not skip this important step.

Step 5:

  • Place one layer of potatoes in the pan. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on them. Add a few slices of yellow onion.

Step 6:

  • Whisk the milk and heavy cream together. Add the flour and garlic to the bowl. Mix until the sauce is very smooth.

Step 7:

  • Pour some of the sauce over the potatoes. Repeat this until all the potatoes are used. Make sure the top layer is flat.

Step 8:

  • Add a few small dots of butter on top. This creates a very beautiful golden crust. It adds extra richness to the dish.

Step 9:

  • Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Place it in the center of the oven. This traps the heat for even cooking.

Step 10:

  • Bake the potatoes for about sixty minutes. The sauce should be bubbling and very hot. The potatoes should start to soften.

Step 11:

  • Remove the foil from the baking dish now. Bake for thirty more minutes until golden. The top should look very crispy.

Notes

  • Slice potatoes very thin for a faster bake.
  • Use heavy cream for the most decadent sauce.
  • Let the dish rest before you start serving.
  • Add extra cheese on top for gooey finish.
  • Always grease the pan corners to prevent sticking.
  • Use fresh garlic cloves for the best aroma.
  • Cover the dish tightly to steam potatoes well.
  • Check the tenderness with a kitchen fork often.
