Instructions
1.
Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish with butter.
2.
Combine cheeses in a large bowl. Transfer 1/3 of the cheese mixture to a separate bowl and set aside.
3.
Add cream, thyme, and garlic to the first bowl of cheese mixture. Season generously with salt and pepper.
4.
Add potato slices and toss with hands until every slice is coated with the cream mixture, ensuring that the layers of slices are separated.
5.
Organize a handful of potatoes into a neat stack and lay them in the prepared baking dish with edges aligned vertically. Continue until all potatoes are packed tightly in the dish.
6.
Pour the excess cream/cheese mixture evenly over the potatoes until the mixture comes halfway up the sides of the dish.
7.
Cover tightly with foil and transfer to oven. Bake for 30 minutes.
8.
Remove foil and continue baking until the top is pale golden brown, about 30 minutes longer.
9.
Carefully remove from oven, sprinkle with remaining cheese, and return to oven. Bake until deep golden brown and crisp on top, about 30 minutes longer.
10.
Remove from oven, let rest for a few minutes, and serve.
