Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Layer thinly sliced potatoes at the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle minced garlic and chopped onion over the potatoes, then add a layer of shredded cheese and a pinch of herbs.
In a bowl, mix together whole milk, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Pour a portion of this mixture over the layered potatoes.
Repeat layering with potatoes, garlic, onion, cheese, herbs, and cream until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of cheese and herbs.
