Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
Seasoning:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (60 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Fire up the oven to a toasty 375°F (190°C), preparing a muffin tin with a light coating of olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Carefully peel the potatoes and slice them into delicate, nearly translucent rounds measuring approximately 1/8-inch thick. Tumble the potato slices into a spacious mixing bowl, then shower them with olive oil, garlic powder, fragrant rosemary or thyme, smoky paprika, salt, and pepper. Massage the seasonings thoroughly to ensure each potato slice is perfectly seasoned.
- Craft intricate potato towers by carefully arranging the seasoned slices vertically in the muffin tin, mimicking a precise architectural stack. Build each tower to a height of 5-6 slices, crowning each creation with a sprinkle of nutty Parmesan cheese.
- Shield the potato stacks with aluminum foil and slide the muffin tin into the preheated oven. Bake for 25 minutes, then reveal the stacks by removing the foil. Continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes until the edges transform into a golden, crispy landscape with beautifully caramelized peaks.
- Gently extract the potato stacks from the muffin tin, transferring them to an elegant serving platter. Dust with freshly chopped parsley and deliver immediately to the table, allowing guests to marvel at the crispy, cheesy masterpiece.
Notes
- Slice potatoes uniformly using a mandoline slipper for consistent thickness and even cooking.
- Experiment with different herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano to customize the flavor profile and match your taste preferences.
- Pat potato slices dry before seasoning to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent soggy edges during baking.
- For a dairy-free version, replace Parmesan with nutritional yeast or omit cheese entirely, maintaining the herb-infused potato stack’s delicious taste.
