Make individual potato stacks that bake up golden brown with crispy edges and tender centers. This simple recipe uses a muffin tin for an elegant side dish perfect for holidays or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter, softened
  • 5 pounds medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
  • 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 the cups of a standard 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Slice the peeled potatoes very thinly, aiming for about 1/8-inch thickness. A mandoline slicer works best for uniform slices.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and white pepper until combined. This is your garlic herb butter.
  4. Take one thin potato slice and brush both sides lightly with the garlic herb butter mixture.
  5. Fold the buttered slice in half, then fold it in half again to create a small, thick piece.
  6. Place the folded potato piece into one muffin tin cup. Repeat this process, layering the folded slices tightly into the cup until it is nearly full. You should fit about 6 to 8 folded slices per cup.
  7. Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the potato stack in each cup.
  8. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the edges are deep golden brown and crispy, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  9. Carefully remove the potato stacks from the muffin tin. You may need to run a thin knife around the edge to loosen them.
  10. Garnish the tops with fresh chopped parsley before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For the crispiest edges, make sure your potato slices are uniform in thickness.
  • Yukon Gold potatoes hold their shape well and provide a creamy interior texture.
  • If you do not have a muffin tin, you can bake these on a parchment-lined baking sheet, but they will not hold the individual stack shape as well.
  • This recipe makes an excellent holiday potato side dish.
