Prepare a small oven-safe baking dish. STEP 2 — MELT THE BUTTER AND COOK THE GARLIC Place a small saucepan over low heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt gently. Add the minced garlic and cook briefly until fragrant, without letting it burn. STEP 3 — ADD FLOUR AND SEASONINGS Add the flour, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk until the butter, garlic, flour, and seasonings are evenly combined. STEP 4 — PREPARE THE CREAMY GARLIC SAUCE Slowly pour the milk into the saucepan while continuously whisking. Continue heating until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and slightly thickened. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then remove it from the heat. STEP 5 — SLICE THE POTATOES Cut the peeled Yukon Gold potatoes into thin, even slices, approximately 3 mm thick. Arrange the potato slices in slightly overlapping layers inside the baking dish. STEP 6 — ADD THE SAUCE AND PARMESAN Pour the prepared garlic cream sauce evenly over the layered potatoes. Make sure the potato slices are well coated. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top. STEP 7 — BAKE UNTIL GOLDEN Place the baking dish into the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the potatoes become tender and the surface turns golden brown and lightly bubbly. Actual baking time may vary depending on the oven and potato thickness. STEP 8 — GARNISH AND SERVE Carefully remove the baked potatoes from the oven. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the golden surface. Allow the dish to cool slightly before serving.
