If you’re looking for a side dish that’s both indulgent and comforting, look no further than Crispy Garlic Parmesan Potato Gratin Stacks. This dish takes the classic French gratin and elevates it with layers of thinly sliced potatoes, infused with garlic and baked to perfection. Each stack is a masterpiece of flavor and texture, showcasing the rich garlic parmesan flavor profile that pairs beautifully with a variety of main courses.
In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in half of the Parmesan cheese.
In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, arrange a layer of sliced potatoes, overlapping slightly. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
Pour a portion of the garlic cream mixture over the first layer of potatoes.
Repeat the layering process until all potatoes and cream are used, finishing with a layer of cream on top.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan and mozzarella cheese over the top layer of cream.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil, drizzle with melted butter, and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes until golden brown.
Let the gratin sit for about 10 minutes before slicing into stacks.
