Ingredients
4–6 medium Russet or Idaho potatoes, sliced 1/8 inch thick
1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
1–2 cloves garlic, grated
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar or gruyère cheese
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a standard muffin tin.
- Wash, dry, and thinly slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife.
- In a large bowl, combine melted butter, oregano, thyme, grated garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Add potato slices to the bowl and toss gently to coat evenly with the herb-butter mixture.
- Mix in parmesan and cheddar (or gruyère) cheeses, tossing again to distribute evenly.
- Stack the potato slices into the muffin cups, filling each high (slightly above the rim).
- Cover the muffin tin loosely with foil, place on a baking sheet, and bake for 45–55 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a skewer.
- Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10–15 minutes until tops and edges are golden and crisp.
- Let rest for a few minutes before carefully removing stacks from the tin. Serve warm.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes to restore crispness.
Peeling potatoes is optional; thin, clean skins work fine.
Use a mix of cheeses for deeper flavor, such as cheddar and gruyère.
Adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne adds subtle heat.
Covering with foil helps cook the centers evenly before crisping.
