How to Make Creamy Parmesan Oven-Baked Potatoes
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with melted butter.
  2. Wash and slice the potatoes thinly, about ⅛ inch.
  3. Whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, melted butter, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme in a mixing bowl.
  4. Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the baking dish, pouring half of the cream mixture over them.
  5. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and cream mixture.
  6. Press down gently on the layered potatoes and sprinkle the reserved Parmesan evenly on top.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes; remove foil and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes.
  8. Broil for 2-3 minutes if desired for an extra crispy top.
  9. Let rest for about 10 minutes before serving; garnish with fresh parsley.
