Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking dish.
  2. Peel and thinly slice the Yukon gold potatoes, about 1/8-inch thick, and place them in cold water.
  3. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat, then add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes until light golden.
  5. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and cook until slightly thickened and bubbly.
  6. Add grated Parmesan, thyme, salt, and pepper, mixing until smooth.
  7. Drain the potato slices and gently toss in the creamy sauce until evenly coated.
  8. Arrange the coated potatoes upright in the greased baking dish and pour the remaining sauce on top.
  9. Sprinkle an additional 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese on top before baking.
  10. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 30 minutes until golden brown.
