Parmesan Potato Stacks are crispy, cheesy potato layers baked in a muffin tin until golden brown and tender inside. This elegant side dish combines buttery potatoes, garlic, herbs, and Parmesan cheese for a flavorful addition to any meal.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
  3. Thinly slice the potatoes using a sharp knife or mandoline.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, garlic, salt, black pepper, and thyme.
  5. Add the potato slices and toss until evenly coated.
  6. Sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese and gently toss again.
  7. Stack the potato slices into the muffin cups, filling each cup nearly to the top.
  8. Pour any remaining butter mixture evenly over the stacks.
  9. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil and continue baking for 20–25 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the potatoes are tender.
  11. Let the stacks cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
  12. Carefully remove them using a spoon or offset spatula.
  13. Garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan if desired.
  14. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Yukon Gold potatoes provide a creamy texture, while Russet potatoes create crispier edges.
  • Use a mandoline for evenly sliced potatoes and consistent cooking.
  • Add cheddar, Gruyère, or mozzarella cheese between layers for extra richness.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispness.
