CREAMY POTATO STACKS (GARLIC + THYME + PARMESAN)

Creamy on the inside and crispy on the outside, these potato stacks are simple to make, delicious to eat, and really can’t be beat. It’s my new favorite way to serve potatoes for the holidays!

To this day, it’s still one of my favorite side dishes and my biggest weakness. That is why I hardly, ever, ever make it at home. Unless, it’s a special occasion. I normally go for a classic mashed potato dish but this year I will be serving these potato stacks. Our dinner table was not complete without a potato dish. Whether mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, or fried potatoes, we ate it all and it was good.

CREAMY POTATO STACKS (GARLIC + THYME + PARMESAN) RECIPE



INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1 sprig fresh thyme
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
• 2 lbs. medium russet potatoes (about 4-5), peeled and sliced 1/8 to 1/16 inch thick
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. black pepper
• freshly grated parmesan cheese

SPECIAL TOOLS

• 12 cup standard muffin pan
• Mandoline slicer

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Spray 12 cup standard muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a small sauce pan, whisk together cream, thyme, garlic, and nutmeg. Bring to a slow simmer and remove from the heat. You want the cream just heated through. Discard the thyme.
3. Toss the potato slices with salt and pepper and layer into stacks in the prepared muffin cups, filling each one to the top but not over the top.
4. Spoon cream over each potato stack, filling almost to the top. You will have couple or so slices exposed. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are knife tender and golden brown on top.
6. Remove the muffin pan from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen up the stacks and carefully remove to a serving platter.
7. Serve immediately.
