This is the dish I would pick if I could only eat one forever!

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter.

Arrange a layer of sliced potatoes in the bottom of the dish.

Sprinkle some minced garlic, salt, and pepper over the potatoes.

Add a layer of shredded cheese on top.

Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.

Pour the heavy cream evenly over the layered potatoes and cheese.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.

Garnish with chopped parsley or chives before serving.

For a twist, try adding thinly sliced onions or leeks between the layers for extra flavor. You can also mix in some cooked bacon bits or ham for a heartier dish. If you’re looking for a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with milk or use a reduced-fat cheese. For a touch of spice, sprinkle a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika between the layers.
