  3. In a large pot, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle in the flour, stir for 1-2 minutes to create a roux, then whisk in heavy cream and cook for 5 minutes until thickened.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese, thyme, salt, and black pepper until melted and creamy.
  6. Gently fold the sliced potatoes into the garlic cream sauce until well-coated.
  7. Arrange potato slices in the greased baking dish and pour any remaining sauce over them. Sprinkle extra Parmesan on top.
  8. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes until golden.
  9. Let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving for best results.
