  4. Slowly pour in the milk and heavy cream while whisking, adding garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook until thickened.
  5. Layer half of the potato and onion slices in the dish, pour in half of the sauce, and repeat the layers.

Notes

Ensure potato slices are not rinsed to retain starches. Use room temperature milk to prevent clumping.
