These Crispy Parmesan Potato Stacks are a deliciously elegant side dish featuring thinly sliced gold potatoes layered and baked to crispy perfection with olive oil, garlic, thyme, and parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes and Seasoning

  • 1 ¼ lb gold potatoes (approx 6–7 potatoes), thinly sliced to 1/16 inch thickness
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease the interior of a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking oil spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Coat Potato Slices: In a large bowl, combine the thinly sliced potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, dried thyme, and grated parmesan cheese. Gently toss and separate the slices so each piece is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
  3. Stack the Potatoes: Begin stacking the potato slices vertically into each muffin cup, starting with the wider slices at the bottom and layering smaller slices on top until each mold is filled to the top. This will create tall potato stacks in all 12 molds.
  4. Bake the Stacks: Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. Bake until the tops and edges of the potato stacks turn golden brown and crispy. For extra flavor and crispiness, sprinkle additional parmesan cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  5. Cool and Stabilize: Remove the pan from the oven carefully. If any stacks have shifted off center, gently push them back to the middle of their cups while still hot. Allow the stacks to rest in the muffin pan for 5-10 minutes; this cooling period helps the stacks crisp further and stabilizes them for easy removal.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Optionally garnish the stacks with fresh thyme leaves, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Serve warm to enjoy the full crispy texture and rich parmesan flavor.

Notes

  • Be sure to slice the potatoes uniformly thin (1/16 inch) to ensure even baking and crispiness.
  • Using a mandoline slicer can simplify achieving consistent thin slices.
  • For a stronger garlic flavor, fresh minced garlic can be used instead of garlic powder.
  • These stacks can be prepared a few hours ahead; reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
  • Use a non-stick or well-greased muffin pan to prevent sticking.
  • Adjust herbs according to preference; rosemary or parsley are good alternatives to thyme.
