Make impressive, gourmet-style potato stacks that are crispy on the edges and tender inside. This easy recipe uses thinly sliced potatoes layered with garlic butter and Parmesan cheese, baked perfectly in a muffin tin for individual servings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray or extra butter for the muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Lightly spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or brush with melted butter.
  2. Thinly slice the potatoes. You need slices about 1/8-inch thick. A mandoline slicer works best for uniform thickness, but use a sharp knife carefully if you do not have one.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Add the potato slices to the butter mixture. Gently toss the slices until they are evenly coated with the butter and seasoning.
  5. Take about 4 to 5 potato slices and layer them vertically inside each muffin cup, slightly overlapping them to form a small fan or stack shape. Press them down gently.
  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 potato stacks from the muffin tin using a small offset spatula or butter knife to loosen the edges.
  8. Serve immediately as an elegant side dish for dinner or holidays.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, brush the top edges of the exposed potato slices with a little extra melted butter halfway through baking.
  • Yukon Gold potatoes hold their shape well and provide a creamy texture inside the stack.
  • If you prefer Gruyère cheese, substitute it for the Parmesan cheese in equal measure.
  • These stacks are excellent for parties because they are individual servings.
