Au Gratin Potatoes With Roasted Garlic

• 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons roasted garlic oil
• 1 cup shredded romano or parmesan cheese
• 6 roasted garlic cloves
• 2 oz. fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 cups heavy cream
• Sea salt
• Pepper

‍

1. Set your oven to 375 degrees.
2. Place cream, roasted garlic, and fresh thyme in a sauce pot and bring to a simmer. Do not boil or it will be scorched. When simmering, turn off and place to the side for later.
3. Wash and slice potatoes thin on a mandolin. Be careful and go slowly if you are learning to use a mandolin.
4. Brush the baking pan with garlic oil and start laying potatoes in a circular pattern starting on the edges. When the bottom is covered with potatoes, sprinkle with parmesan, salt, and pepper lightly. Try to save some of the cheese to go on top.
5. Keep layering the potatoes with cheese and seasoning until the pan is full to the top.
6. When you have finished with the potatoes, gently pour the cream in the center of the potatoes letting it fill in all the gaps. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
7. Cover with aluminum foil, place in a 375 and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove foil and continue to cook for approximately 20-30 more minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
