Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or russet)
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or fresh)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin.
2. Slice the Potatoes
Thinly slice the potatoes (about 1/8 inch thick). A mandoline works best for even slices.
3. Season
In a bowl, mix melted butter, olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Toss the potato slices in this mixture until evenly coated.
4. Assemble
Stack the potato slices into the muffin tin, layering them tightly.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese between layers and on top for that crispy finish.
5. Bake
Bake for 45–55 minutes until the tops are golden and crispy and the centers are tender.
Let them cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin.
Tips for Perfect Stacks
- Press the stacks gently so they hold together
- Use plenty of Parmesan for a crispy crust
- Let them rest before removing so they don’t fall apart
Serving Ideas
Serve as a side dish with steak, chicken, or fish. They also make a great appetizer for gatherings.
