  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or herb of your choice)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a round baking dish or pie dish with olive oil.
  2. Peel and thinly slice the potatoes using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife. Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

  2. Layer half of the ham slices on top of the potatoes.
  3. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the ham.
  4. Repeat with another layer of potatoes, followed by the remaining ham slices, and the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.

3. Prepare the Sauce:

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the grated Parmesan cheese, heavy cream or milk, minced garlic, and dried thyme.
  2. Pour the sauce evenly over the layered potatoes, ham, and cheese.

4. Bake:

  1. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.

5. Garnish and Serve:

  1. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  2. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
