• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 sprigs thyme
• 2 sprigs dill
• 2 sprigs parsley

• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (you can add more if you like it really spicy)
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• dash of salt

3. 3

   Butter a casserole dish and begin to layer...: Butter a casserole dish and begin to layer potatoes. Pour a little milk over the first layer and then sprinkle some Parmesan cheese. Continue to layer until your milk mixture and potatoes have been used up.

4. 4

   Sprinkle a little paprika or cayenne pepper on...: Sprinkle a little paprika or cayenne pepper on the top layer then add rest of parmesan cheese.

5. 5

   Bake at 375 degrees for 55 minutes. Insert...: Bake at 375 degrees for 55 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center of the dish to make sure potatoes have cooked all the way through. If the top is not brown enough, turn the broiler on for 2 minutes to get a golden brown crust. Keep and eye on it since the broiler works quickly and can burn your potato dish easily!
