Make impressive, restaurant-style potato stacks that are crispy on the edges and tender inside. This simple muffin tin recipe uses Parmesan cheese, garlic butter, and herbs for a gourmet side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/8-inch thick
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or mixed herbs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and white pepper. Mix well.
  3. Take the thinly sliced potatoes and place them in a large bowl. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the potatoes and toss gently until every slice is coated.
  4. Take about 5 to 7 potato slices and layer them vertically inside each muffin cup, overlapping them slightly to form a stack. Press the layers down gently.
  5. Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of Parmesan cheese over the top of each stack.
  6. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the edges of the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, and the centers are tender when pierced with a fork.
  7. Carefully remove the stacks from the muffin tin using a small offset spatula or butter knife.
  8. Garnish the tops with fresh chopped parsley before serving immediately.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer to achieve uniform 1/8-inch slices for even cooking and the best texture.
  • If the stacks stick, let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before attempting to remove them.
  • For extra crispiness, you can brush the tops with a little extra melted butter halfway through baking.
