- StepPreheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- StepGrease a 9 × 13-inch (23 × 33 cm) baking dish with 2 tablespoons (30 mL) of the softened butter.
- StepSlice the peeled potatoes into ⅛-inch (3 mm) thick rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline.
- StepIn a small bowl, combine the heavy cream, minced garlic, 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, salt and black pepper.
- StepArrange one-third of the potato slices in an even layer in the prepared baking dish. Spoon over one-third of the cream mixture.
- StepSprinkle with one-third of the shredded white cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese.
- StepRepeat the layers two more times until all the potatoes, cream mixture and cheese are used.
- StepDot the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 mL) softened butter.
- StepSprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
- StepCover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 60 minutes.
- StepRemove the foil and continue baking for 20–25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the top is golden brown and bubbling.
- StepLet the potatoes rest for 10 minutes before serving. This helps the sauce thicken and makes serving easier.
