Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Potatoes: Wash, peel, and thinly slice the potatoes into uniform slices.
- Onions: Peel and thinly slice the onions.
- Garlic: Mince the garlic cloves finely.
- Thyme: Strip the thyme leaves from the stems and roughly chop them, if necessary.
Grease a large baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a small saucepan, melt the 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh thyme.
- Arrange a third of the potato slices in an even layer at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Scatter a third of the onion slices over the potatoes.
- Drizzle about a third of the garlic butter mixture over the layered potatoes and onions.
- Repeat these layers two more times, finishing with a generous drizzle of the garlic butter on top.
Carefully pour the vegetable broth over the layered potatoes and onions. This will help cook and flavor the potatoes as they bake.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the dish to set slightly, making it easier to serve.
