Ingredients:
- 4 cups of russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 4-5 medium-sized potatoes)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet and stir to coat them in the buttery mixture. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the potatoes to slightly brown.
- Pour in the heavy cream and add the thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the cream begins to thicken slightly. Remove the skillet from heat.
- Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese, reserving some for topping.
- Transfer the potato mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the reserved cheeses on top of the potato mixture.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Once done, let the Potatoes Delmonico sit for a few minutes to cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
