Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Slice the potatoes into 1/8 inch thick slices and set aside.
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and add minced garlic; cook for 1 minute.
• Add the milk to the saucepan, stirring until combined, then remove from heat.
• In a small bowl, mix together salt, pepper, and thyme.
• Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place a third of the potato slices in the dish, sprinkle with a third of the salt, pepper, thyme, and cheese. Repeat for second layer.
• In the final layer, evenly place remaining potato slices, pour the milk mixture over the top, sprinkle remaining salt, pepper, thyme, and top with cheese.
• Cover with foil and bake for 90 minutes until potatoes are tender. Remove foil, add remaining cheese, and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
• Let stand and cool slightly before serving.
