Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds.
  3. In a small saucepan, heat the cream, butter, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, and parsley over low heat. Allow the mixture to infuse for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Arrange a layer of potato slices in a greased baking dish, slightly overlapping each other.
  5. Pour a quarter of the cream mixture over the potatoes, ensuring it covers the entire layer. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Repeat the process to create additional potato and cream layers until all the ingredients are used.
  7. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
  8. After 40 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender.
  9. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  10. Garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired, and serve hot.
