Wash and peel the potatoes carefully. Slice them thin using a knife or slicer. Try to keep slices even. This helps them cook evenly and gives a soft texture.

Take a saucepan and add butter. Let it melt on medium heat. Add garlic and cook for one minute. Pour in cream and milk. Stir gently and add salt, pepper, and paprika.

Grease your baking dish lightly. Place one layer of potatoes at the bottom. Pour some cream mixture on top. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used. Add cheese between layers if you like.

Cover the dish with foil. Place it in a preheated oven at 180°C. Bake for 40 minutes. This step helps potatoes cook fully and absorb the creamy flavor.

Remove the foil carefully. Bake for another 20 minutes. The top should turn golden and slightly crispy. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
