Ingredients

3 pounds baby potatoes, I like using a medium size
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cups heavy cream or whole milk
2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
1/2 cup grated manchego cheese
1/2 cup grated gruyere cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons butter, thinly sliced
kosher salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

2. Carefully slice the potatoes into thin slices, leaving a 1/8 inch at the bottom, be careful not to slice all the way through the potato. Place In a 9x13 inch baking dish and gently toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Transfer to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the cream, garlic, cheese, thyme, and a pinch each of salt and pepper.

3. Remove the potatoes from the oven and pour the cream over them, arrange the potatoes in a mostly even layer. Place the slices of butter around the potatoes. Return to the oven and roast for another 20-25 minutes, until the sauce thickens and the potatoes are tender. Season with flaky salt just before serving. Enjoy!
