Over low heat, melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the garlic and cook for a further one minute. In a bowl, combine the cornstarch, sea salt, and peppercorns.
Bring the milk to a boil, one tablespoon at a time. The sauce should thicken in around two to three minutes of continual stirring.

Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray and transfer the contents. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top. Bake it, covered, for 30 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. For a further 30–45 minutes, remove the lid and continue baking until the potatoes are soft and the sauce is bubbling.
Remove it from the oven and leave it to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing to serve.
