Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a medium ceramic baking dish with butter.
  2. Thinly slice the Yukon gold potatoes into 1/16-inch rounds using a mandolin or a sharp knife.
  3. In a large pot, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, stirring to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring continuously until lightly golden.
  5. Gradually pour in 2 cups of heavy cream, whisking until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of fresh thyme, and season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Pour the creamy sauce over the sliced potatoes in a large bowl, gently tossing to coat evenly.
  8. Arrange the coated potato slices upright in the prepared baking dish and pour any remaining sauce on top.
  9. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 30 minutes.
  10. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
