1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the heavy cream to the onion and garlic mixture. Season with salt, pepper, and any optional spices you desire.
Bring the mixture to a simmer then reduce the heat and allow it to thicken for about 5 minutes.
In a greased baking dish, start layering the sliced potatoes. Pour a portion of the creamy sauce over the first layer, then sprinkle some shredded cheese.
Repeat this process until all potatoes are layered, finishing with cheese on top.
For an extra golden crust, sprinkle additional cheese or breadcrumbs over the top.
Bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
