Ingredients
4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Olive oil spray (for greasing the muffin tin)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil spray.
- In a large bowl, mix together the melted butter, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, rosemary (optional), salt, and pepper.
- Add the thinly sliced potatoes to the bowl and toss gently to coat the slices evenly with the butter mixture.
- Begin stacking the potato slices in each muffin cup, layering them upright. Press the layers gently as you go.
- Once all cups are filled, drizzle any remaining butter mixture over the potatoes.
- Cover the muffin tin with aluminum foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes to achieve a golden, crispy top.
- Let the potato stacks cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin.
- Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer.
Notes
If you prefer a different cheese, feel free to swap the Parmesan for cheddar, Gruyère, or a blend of your favorite cheeses.
For a spicier version, add crushed red pepper flakes to the butter mixture.
To make this recipe vegan, use plant-based butter and dairy-free Parmesan alternatives.
