Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Butter an 8×10-inch baking dish generously.
Step 2
Slice potatoes 1/8-inch thick (use a mandoline if you have one). Pat dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Whisk cream, milk, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl until combined.
Step 4
Layer half the potatoes in the baking dish, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle half the cheese. Add remaining potatoes, then remaining cheese.
Step 5
Pour cream mixture over the top. Bake at 425°F until the surface turns golden and edges are bubbling, 16–18 minutes.
Step 6
Let rest 2 minutes. Serve hot with crusty bread or a simple salad.
