"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Clean potatoes and cut with a sharp knife into thin to medium slices. Place in cold water and rinse thoroughly. Drain and pat dry.

Place garlic in small pan on low heat. Add heavy cream and simmer slightly stirring occasionally until warm. Turn off heat and allow to cool slightly.

In a medium size casserole dish butter generously. Layer one layer of potatoes, salt, pepper, cheese and thyme. Add a little of warmed cream and continue to do so in every layer until all potatoes and cheese are used. Any remaining cheese add to last layer. Make sure potatoes are pretty well covered with garlic sauce. Turn oven to 400 degrees. When oven has reached 400 degrees cover casserole with foil and place in center of oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and place casserole up to next rack and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until slightly browned. If not browned enough you can broil on high for a few minutes but watch carefully as not to burn.

Remove from oven and allow to set for 20 minutes. It will thicken perfectly.
