Description

Muffin Tin Potatoes are golden, crispy potato stacks baked with butter, Parmesan, garlic, and thyme. Each bite-sized serving is tender inside, crunchy on the edges, and full of comforting flavor — perfect for dinners, holidays, or any cozy meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium russet potatoes (about pounds), peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced (or 2 teaspoons garlic powder)
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 12 tablespoons heavy cream or whole milk


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, toss sliced potatoes with melted butter, garlic, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and thyme until evenly coated.
  3. Layer 6–8 slices of potato into each muffin cup, pressing down slightly.
  4. Pour 1 tablespoon of heavy cream or milk over each stack.
  5. Sprinkle extra Parmesan and thyme on top of each stack for added flavor.
  6. Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden brown and tender in the center.
  7. Let cool for 5 minutes, then gently remove from the muffin tin and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline for thin, even potato slices.
  • Don’t skip the Parmesan — it helps crisp the edges.
  • Let the potatoes rest before removing to keep their shape.
