Creamy Potato Stacks with Garlic Thyme and Parmesan

Overview

  • Yield: 12 potato stacks
  • Prep Time: 20 mins
  • Cook Time: 25 mins
  • Total Time: 45 mins

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

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F. Spray 12 cup standard muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. Spoon cream over each potato stack, filling almost to the top. You will have couple or so slices exposed. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

  1. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are knife tender and golden brown on top.

  1. 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.

  1. Serve immediately.
