Create impressive, gourmet-looking potato stacks with crispy edges and tender centers using this simple muffin tin recipe. These layered potato sides are flavored with garlic butter and Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 5 pounds medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced very thin (about 1/8 inch thick)
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and white pepper. Mix well to create the garlic herb butter mixture.
  3. Add the thinly sliced potatoes to the bowl with the butter mixture. Toss gently until every potato slice is evenly coated.
  4. Take about 5 to 7 potato slices and layer them inside each cup of the prepared muffin tin, pressing them down slightly to form a stack. You want the edges of the slices to stick up slightly over the rim of the tin to promote crisping.
  5. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the edges of the potatoes are golden brown and crispy, and the centers are tender when pierced with a fork.
  6. Carefully remove the potato stacks from the muffin tin using a small offset spatula or butter knife to loosen the sides. Place them on a serving platter.
  7. Garnish the tops of the stacks with fresh chopped parsley before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For the best crispy edges, slice your potatoes using a mandoline slicer to ensure uniform thinness.
  • If the tops start browning too quickly before the centers are cooked, loosely tent the muffin tin with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
  • These stacks reheat well in an oven or air fryer to restore crispness.
