Ensure potatoes are sliced and dry.

Cut potatoes into thin slices, ensuring uniformity in thickness.

Season potatoes with onion powder, garlic powder, complete seasoning, bay leaf, thyme, black pepper, and salt.

Add smoked paprika (optional) to the potatoes.

Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a pan.

Add 4 cloves of crushed garlic and 1 teaspoon of thyme to the melted butter.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of basil and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the butter mixture.

Cook the butter mixture for about 1 minute.

Prepare a casserole dish by greasing it with oil.

Layer a little cheese sauce at the bottom of the casserole dish.
