Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium medium potatoes Choose starchy potatoes for the best texture.
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated is best for flavor.
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter Allows the cheese to stick to the potatoes.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Adjust according to taste.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Season to enhance flavor.
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional) Use herbs like parsley or chives for garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash and peel the potatoes, then slice them thinly, aiming for uniform slices about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until a creamy mixture forms.
  4. Grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
Stacking and Baking
  1. Take a slice of potato, dip it in the cheese mixture, and stack several slices together. Place the stacks vertically in the muffin tin.
  2. Repeat the stacking process until all potato slices are used.
  3. Bake the muffin tin in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the stacks are golden and crispy.
  4. Allow the stacks to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them.
Serving
  1. Serve the potato stacks warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Tips for success include keeping slices uniform and adjusting seasoning as preferred. You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the oven to restore crispiness.
