Ingredients

  • 4 medium Russet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
  • 1/2 cup Cheddar or Gruyere cheese finely grated
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  • Using a mandolin or a very sharp knife, cut the potatoes into 1/8” slices.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the butter, garlic, cheeses, rosemary, thyme, salt and pepper. Add in the potatoes and toss well to coat.
  • Layer the potato slices in each well of the muffin tin all the way to the top.
  • Place the muffin tin on a baking sheet and cover with tinfoil.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue cooking for another 20-25 minutes. The potatoes should be tender and golden.
  • Slide a paring knife around the outside of each stack to release it then use the knife to lift the stack out.
  • Garnish with flake salt and some fresh thyme. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Consistently thin slices cook evenly and stack neatly, creating that signature layered look.
  • Stack the potato slices up above the top of the cupcake tin. The stacks will shrink a little as they cook, so you want to make sure the stack them high.
  • Make sure each layer gets coated with the magic butter sauce for maximum flavor and a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
