Ingredients
Scale
- 5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half and half)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a medium-sized ceramic baking dish.
- Thinly slice the potatoes using a mandolin or sharp knife to about 1/16th inch thick.
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter with minced garlic until fragrant. Stir in the flour to create a roux and cook for about 1-2 minutes.
