Step 1

Take 3 1/2 lbs potatoes, cut into chunks and boil with 1 tbsp salt until knife tender. Drain and let sit in colander 1 minute. To the hot pot add the butter and cream, stir to melt. Return the potatoes and mash. Add the cheese, 1 tsp salt and pepper. Spoon into a buttered 10 X 10" baking dish and spread smooth. The dish can be premade to this point. Just cover and refrigerate, then bring to room temperature again when ready to continue.

Step 4

Scrub the skin of 1 1/2 lbs potatoes, slice in half lengthwise then slice thinly, into about 1/8" thick half moons. Melt butter, add garlic, salt and pepper and toss with the potato slices. Then mix in 1 1/2 tbsps parmesan. Lay slices cut side down on mashed potatoes at an angle in 3 or 4 rows. Cover with foil and into the 400°F oven for 20 minutes.

Step 5

Remove foil, add 1 1/2 tbsps parmesan and return to the oven uncovered for 40 minutes. Let rest 15-20 minutes before serving.
