Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.

• Place milk, garlic pulp, flour, thyme, salt, and pepper in a food processor; process until smooth.
• Arrange one-third of potatoes in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray.
• Spread half of the shallot mixture over potatoes. Repeat procedure with remaining potato slices and shallot mixture, ending with potato slices. Pour milk mixture evenly over potatoes.
• Cover with foil; bake at 375° for 30 minutes. Remove foil; bake, uncovered, 30 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese; bake 15 minutes or until cheese is golden. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
