Instructions

1. 1.
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare the cooking environment. Lightly grease a small baking dish to prevent sticking, ensuring even layers of the potatoes over the base.
2. 2.
   In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the heavy cream, minced garlic, and sea salt. Heat gently to infuse the cream with garlic, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning, for about 3-4 minutes until the mixture is warm and aromatic but not boiling.
3. 3.
   Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the fresh dill. This step adds a burst of freshness, and the dill's pungent aroma will come through in the dish.
4. 4.
   Layer the thin potato slices evenly in the prepared baking dish. Attempt to overlap them slightly for better structure and texture. Pour the infused cream mixture over the potatoes, ensuring even coating for consistent flavor throughout.
5. 5.
   Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil and continue baking until the potatoes are done. Allow to cool slightly before serving to let flavors meld.
