Ingredients
Method
- Preheat Oven: Preheat to 375°F (190°C).
- Make the Sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook for another minute, making a roux. Gradually whisk in the cream, stirring until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Layer Potatoes: Arrange half of the sliced potatoes in a greased baking dish. Pour half of the cream sauce over the potatoes and sprinkle with half of the cheese.
- Repeat Layers: Add the remaining potatoes, followed by the rest of the cream sauce and cheese.
- Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 20-30 minutes, until the top is golden and the potatoes are tender.
- Serve: Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with herbs if desired.
