Combine the cream, half-and-half, garlic, salt and pepper in a large saucepan. Add the sliced potatoes and stir well to completely coat them with the cream mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook for 25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally. Do not let the potatoes boil.

When potatoes are tender, adjust the seasoning and pour into a 8x10 inch baking dish. Add ham or bacon if desired. Sprinkle with cheese and bake in the center of a preheated 425 degree oven until golden on top and the potatoes are completely tender, about 20 minutes.
