Peel the garlic and rub it into a medium-sized baking dish. Grease the dish with butter. Peel the potatoes and cut into 1-2 mm thick slices. Peel the onion and slice thinly. Layer half of the potatoes in the baking dish, slightly overlapping, until the bottom is covered. Season with salt and pepper and cover with the onions. Layer the other half of the potatoes, again slightly overlapping, on top of the onions and season with salt and pepper again. Spread the cream over the potatoes and sprinkle everything with the grated cheese. Bake the casserole in a preheated oven at 180°C (top/bottom heat) for about 45 minutes until crispy brown.
