- 3 tbsp Butter melted; malted butter recommended
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Thyme dried
- 1/2 tsp Pepper black, freshly ground
- 1/4 tsp Salt or to taste
For Garnish (Optional)
- 1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese for garnish, grated

Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes

Combine Ingredients
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Add the sliced potatoes and toss gently to coat them evenly in the mixture.
Assemble and Bake
- Lightly grease 6 muffin cups. Layer the potato slices into each muffin cup, creating stacks.
- Sprinkle a little extra freshly ground black pepper over the tops of the stacks.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the potato stacks are golden brown and tender.
Rest and Garnish
- Remove the potato stacks from the oven and let them rest in the muffin tins for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
- Garnish with extra grated Parmesan cheese and fresh thyme sprigs, if desired.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Parmesan Potato Stacks
- For extra crispy stacks, use a mandoline slicer to ensure perfectly even potato slices.
- If your potatoes release excess moisture during baking, you can carefully drain it off about halfway through the cooking time to help them crisp up.
- Feel free to experiment with other herbs and spices. Rosemary, oregano, or a pinch of red pepper flakes would all be delicious additions.
- These potato stacks can be made ahead of time and reheated. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-15 minutes.
