Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Grease a 1 1/2 quart or larger casserole dish with
butter or nonstick spray.
Layer half of the potato slices in the bottom of
the casserole dish. Dot with half of the butter
cut or pinched into small pieces. Arrange half of
the garlic slices over the potatoes, then pour
half of the heavy cream over. Sprinkle one cup of
Cheddar cheese over the layer, and season with
salt and pepper. Repeat layering of potatoes,
garlic, cream and Cheddar cheese, then top with
the slices of provolone cheese. Season again with
salt and pepper.
Bake for 1/2 hour in the preheated oven, then
sprinkle the Parmesan or Romano cheese over the
top. This will create a semi-hard cheese crust.
Continue baking uncovered for another 30 minutes,
or until potatoes are tender when tested with a
fork.
