Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Potatoes: Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the potatoes evenly to about 1/8 inch thickness to ensure uniform cooking and crispiness.
- Season the Slices: In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil or melted butter. Sprinkle with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and chopped fresh rosemary or thyme. If using Parmesan cheese, gently mix it into the seasoned potato slices.
- Assemble in Muffin Tin: Grease a muffin tin thoroughly. Layer the seasoned potato slices evenly into each muffin cup, stacking them to form a mound. Press down lightly to compact the layers, which helps the stacks hold together while baking.
- Bake Until Crispy: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the potato stacks for 45 to 50 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, crisp, and the centers are fully cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Carefully remove them using a spoon or small spatula to maintain their shape. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Pat potato slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture for better crisping.
- Use a mandoline to ensure even thickness and prevent soggy spots.
- Do not overcrowd the muffin cups to allow heat circulation and achieve crispy edges.
- Russet potatoes are ideal for crispiness; Yukon Gold potatoes can add a buttery flavor.
- Season potatoes generously to enhance their natural flavor.
