Reduce the cream by one third with thyme and garlic. Pass through a sieve and discard thyme and garlic, then add salt and pepper. Bring the cream back to the boil. When boiling, add the sliced potatoes and keep on low heat for 8-10 minutes, just enough for the potatoes to cook slightly. Drain the potatoes into a colander, making sure to catch the cream in a stainless steel bowl. In a 5cm deep tray, put the potatoes in layers, and keep doing it until they reach the top of the tray. Just cover with the reduced cream, and put in a warm oven (170ºC) for 1½ hours. The top should be golden. Add the parmesan and put it back in the oven under the grill to gratin the cheese.
