Method

Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Carefully thinly slice the russet or Yukon gold potatoes to 1/8 inch thickness.
In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream, fresh thyme, salt, and pepper over medium until just simmering.
Layer thin potato slices in a greased baking dish, overlapping slightly, and pour small amounts of cream sauce between layers.
Once all potatoes are layered, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, checking for a golden, bubbly top and fork-tender potatoes.
