Cheesy potatoes au gratin

I've never met a potato I didn't like. It's true. Which could partially explain the extra 10 pounds I would like to lose.
In any case, I needed something quick and easy to do with potatoes, with the ingredients I had in the house. So I altered the original recipe by Pioneer Woman, and made these potatoes. They were tasty.

4 whole Russet Potatoes, Scrubbed Clean
cooking spray
1-½ cup light cream
½ cups 2% Milk
2 Tablespoons Flour
4 cloves Garlic, Finely Minced
1 teaspoon Salt
Freshly Ground Pepper, to taste
1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Freshly Grated

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spray bottom of baking dish with cooking spray.
Slice potatoes, then cut slices into fourths.
In a separate bowl, whisk together cream, milk, flour, minced garlic, salt, and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
Place 1/3 of the potatoes in the bottom of the baking dish. Pour 1/3 of the cream mixture over the potatoes.
Repeat this two more times, ending with the cream mixture. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 20 minutes, or until potatoes are golden brown and really bubbling. Add grated cheese to the top of the potatoes and bake for 3 to 5 more minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow to stand for a few minutes before serving by the spoonful.
