Make impressive, gourmet-looking potato stacks that feature crispy edges and tender, cheesy centers. This easy recipe uses thinly sliced potatoes baked in a muffin tin, perfect for any dinner or holiday gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 pounds medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 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. Peel the potatoes and slice them very thinly, about 1/8-inch thick. A mandoline slicer works best for uniform slices.
  3. In a large bowl, melt the butter. Add the sliced potatoes to the melted butter and toss to coat them evenly.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and white pepper.
  5. Add the cheese and spice mixture to the potatoes and toss again until all slices are well coated.
  6. Take about 5 to 7 potato slices and layer them vertically inside each muffin cup, pressing them down gently to form a tight stack. Try to fan the edges out slightly so they stick up over the rim of the cup for crisping.
  7. 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.
  8. Carefully remove the potato stacks from the muffin tin using a small offset spatula or butter knife.
  9. Garnish the tops with fresh chopped parsley before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For the crispiest edges, ensure your potato slices are uniform in thickness. Use a mandoline if you have one.
  • Yukon Gold potatoes hold their shape well and provide a creamy interior texture.
  • If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, use 1 teaspoon of garlic salt instead of plain salt and reduce the garlic powder slightly.
