  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.

  3. Stir in all-purpose flour to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

  5. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens.

  6. Stir in dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

  7. Add grated Parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

  8. In a greased baking dish, layer thinly sliced potatoes.

  9. Pour a portion of the creamy garlic and Parmesan sauce over the potatoes.

  10. Repeat the layering process until all the potatoes and sauce are used, finishing with a layer of sauce on top.

  11. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

  12. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender.

  13. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

  14. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

Krispy Kreme Just Dropped a Latin American Dessert Collection — Three New Doughnuts Available Now

Krispy Kreme’s filled doughnuts are more indulgent than the classic Original Glazed, but the Destination Dessert Collection offers a genuinely interesting cultural experience worth savoring slowly rather than rushing through. Ordering one to share — splitting a Guava Cheesecake or Tres Leches doughnut between two people — lets you taste the flavor without the full calorie commitment of a whole doughnut each. It’s also worth pairing with a plain black coffee rather than a sweet beverage, since the richness of the filled doughnuts stands out more clearly without competing sweetness from your drink.
