Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 375˚F. Lightly brush a 2-quart baking dish or casserole with oil. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and garlic; sauté about 6 minutes. Spoon into the bottom of the baking dish.

  4. Cover the baking dish with foil; bake 40 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Mix the bread crumbs and cheese; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle mixture over the top of the casserole.
  5. Bake, uncovered, for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Heat through until internal temperature reads 165ºF. Garnish with thyme sprigs.
