Prep: 15 minCook: 35 minTotal: 50 min
Servings: 12 stacks 1x

Ingredients

  • 6 Medium White Potatoes
  • 1/4 cup butter or coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh thyme
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). 

  2. Thinly slice the potatoes using either a mandolin or a sharp knife into thin, uniform slices. The mandolin ensures consistent thickness and even cooking, but if you don’t have one, a sharp knife will work too. 
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced potatoes with the butter, shredded parmesan cheese, fresh thyme, minced garlic, and salt. Use your hands to gently toss everything together, ensuring that the butter coats each potato slice evenly, and the seasonings are well distributed.

  4. Begin stacking the potatoes into the muffin tray. Take one slice of potato and start layering the thin slices on top of each other to create a “stack.” You can stack them in a slightly overlapping manner. Continue stacking until each muffin tin is filled to the top.

  5. Once all the muffin tins are filled with the stacked potatoes, place the muffin tray into the preheated oven. Bake the potatoes for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy around the edges.

  6. When the stacked potatoes are done baking, carefully remove the muffin tray from the oven. Allow the potatoes to cool for a minute or two before running a knife around the edge of each potato stack to help release them from the muffin tin. Slide a fork under the stack to lift them up from the muffin tin and transfer to individual plates or a serving platter. Garnish with additional thyme (if desired) and enjoy!
