Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Melt butter over medium heat in a skillet. Sauté onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, salt, and pepper; cook for an additional 30 seconds.
  3. Pour in chicken stock and heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer.
  4. Add sliced potatoes into the creamy mixture and let it simmer on medium-low heat for 15-20 minutes until nearly tender.
  5. Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with butter. Transfer the potato mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly.

  7. Let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
