Garlic Scalloped Potatoes

8 to 10 large new potatoes, sliced thin
24 to 32 oz heavy whipping cream
8 to 16 oz half and half
3 to 6 cloves minced garlic, according to your taste
1 to 2 tsp. salt
1 to 3 tsp. pepper
Melted Butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place sliced potatoes in large, heavy saucepan sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Pour cream and half and half over potatoes, adding more if necessary (potatoes should be nearly covered) Add garlic and seasonings.
Over moderate heat, cook potatoes uncovered for 20 minutes or until mixture starts to thicken. Stir occasionally to prevent potatoes from sticking to bottom of pan.
Pour hot potatoes into large, generously buttered baking dish. Drizzle butter over the top ( I use a lot) Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until potatoes are tender and lightly browned.

Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
