Cheesy Potato Stacks 🥔🧀
Cheesy potato stacks are thinly sliced potatoes layered with butter, cheese, and seasoning, then baked until crispy on the edges and soft in the middle. They’re basically individual “mini potato gratins” that look fancy but are simple to make.
🧂 Main ingredients
- Potatoes (thinly sliced)
- Butter or olive oil
- Cheese (parmesan, cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- Garlic (optional)
- Salt & black pepper
- Herbs (thyme, rosemary, or parsley)
- Optional: cream or milk for extra richness
🍳 How to make them
1. Prep the potatoes
- Peel (optional) and slice potatoes very thin
- Soak in water briefly to remove excess starch, then dry
2. Season
- Toss slices with melted butter or oil
- Add salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs
3. Stack
- Grease a muffin tray
- Layer potato slices in each cup
- Sprinkle cheese between layers
4. Bake
- Bake at ~190–200°C for 40–55 minutes
- Top should be golden and crispy, inside soft
5. Serve
- Let cool slightly so stacks hold shape
- Remove carefully and serve warm
🔥 Flavor profile
- Crispy, golden edges
- Soft, creamy interior

🧀 Variations
- Add cream for a richer, gratin-style texture

đź’ˇ Tip
Slice potatoes evenly and thinly—this is key for even cooking and that beautiful layered look.
