Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Grease an 9×13 glass baking dish or 3-quart casserole with the olive oil.
Layer a third of the potatoes in the prepared dish. Sprinkle with 1/3 tsp kosher salt and few grinds of fresh pepper. Sprinkle a third of the thyme, a third of the parmesan and third of the blue cheese over the seasoned potato layer.
Repeat the above step twice more, until you have three layers of seasoned potatoes and cheese.
Pour the cream evenly over the potatoes and cheese (see recipe note about the cream amounts) and cover tightly with foil.
Bake on center rack in preheated oven for 1 hour.
Remove foil from the dish, increase oven temperature to 400 degrees, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
Remove from oven. Allow the dish to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
