Servings: persons

5 tablespoons butter
2 green onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups milk
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 cup shredded fontina cheese
2 pounds red potatoes, thinly sliced, ends discarded
1/4 cup Italian-style panko bread crumbs, or as needed

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 3-quart baking dish.
2
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute onion, garlic, and thyme in hot butter until onion is tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Whisk flour, salt, and black pepper into onion mixture.
3
Gradually whisk milk and cream into onion mixture; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
4
Stir sour cream into sauce until smooth; add fontina cheese and stir until cheese melts.
5
Arrange 1/2 the potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour 1/2 the cheese sauce over the potatoes. Repeat with remaining potatoes and cheese sauce. Top with bread crumbs to cover potatoes entirely.
6
Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are tender and bread crumbs are golden brown, 60 to 70 minutes.
