    1

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

    2

    Peel and thinly slice the potatoes (this should take about 10 minutes).

    3

    Wash and chop the broccoli into small florets (around 5 minutes).

    4

    In a pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    5

    Stir in 1 cup of cream, salt, and pepper into the garlic butter. Allow it to warm for about 5 minutes but do not boil.

    6

    In a greased baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes first, followed by half of the broccoli florets.

    7

    Pour half of the cream mixture over the first layer, then repeat the process with the remaining potatoes and broccoli, finishing with the cream mixture.

    8

    Sprinkle 1 cup of grated cheese evenly over the top.

    9

    Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.

    10

    After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
