2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

1 tsp picked thyme

1.5 TB room temp butter

Butter 7”x2” baking dish leaving any excess in the bottoms and sides of the dish.

Thinly slice potatoes on a mandoline, watch the digits.

Combine garlic gloves, thyme, cream, salt and pepper. Add sliced potatoes and coat.

Layer the potatoes evenly until half are left, add chopped oyster “in the middle” then finish layering potatoes.

Pour the remainder of the cream mixture over the potatoes and finish with the reserved parmesan.

Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
