Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Slice the peeled russet potatoes into thin rounds, about an eighth of an inch thick.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Whisk in heavy cream, salt, and pepper until combined.
Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the baking dish. Pour half of the cream mixture over them and sprinkle with half of each cheese type.
Repeat layers with remaining potatoes, cream mixture, and cheeses.
Top with toasted breadcrumbs for added crunch.
Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes; then remove foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
