Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (fan forced).
- Slice potatoes to about 3 mm thick. It’s important to keep the slices thin to ensure they cook through in the oven. The thicker the slices are, the longer they will need to bake in the oven.
- Layer and spread out the potato slices into a medium baking dish.
- In a small pot on medium to high heat, add the butter and melt.
- Add garlic and cook until it just starts to brown (about 45 seconds).
- Add plain flour and stir until there are no lumps.
- Add milk and thickened cream gradually while stirring until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
- Bring to boil then remove from heat.
- Pour the sauce over the top of the potatoes in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle the potatoes with parmesan.
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove foil from baking dish and bake for a further 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Check the potatoes are cooked through by inserting a skewer into the potatoes. Return to oven and bake longer if necessary.
- Remove from oven and garnish with parsley, then serve.
