Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Gradually stir in milk and heavy cream, then whisk in the cheddar until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the baking dish, pour half the cheese sauce over them. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and cheese sauce.
Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese on top, cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow sauce to thicken.
