Easy Potato Stacks

Just 4 ingredients ... and they look so impressive. Delicious hot or cold. Thank you My Fridge Food

 

6-8 Tbsp. of butter

1 1/2 - 2 lb. Yukon Gold potatoes

Salt and pepper

Fresh thyme

Small clove garlic, minced (optional)

 

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan
• Strip 2 or 3 Tbsp. of Thyme into the melted butter with garlic
• Slice your potatoes.
• Toss the sliced potatoes into a bowl
• Drizzle half the herb butter mixture in, and season generously with coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Mix thoroughly to coat everything with the herb butter.
• Grease your muffin tin with the rest of the herb butter
• Lay a large piece of thyme in the center of each muffin-settin' spot
• Start layering your potatoes in a roughly circular manner, building up a tower of potato slices that spires a little bit above the fill line.
• These potato towers will fall a bit as they cook, so give them a little extra height
• Make sure they are as tight and compact as possible.
• Cover the muffin tin with aluminum foil and pop into the oven.
• Set a timer for 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, carefully remove the foil.
• Using a cake spatula or a butter knife and tongs, carefully lift out each stack
• Move it over to your baking sheet
• Carefully turn it over so that the thyme leaf you placed on the bottom is now on the top.
• If you have leftover herb butter drizzle on these potato stacks
• Carefully slide the baking sheet back into the oven and turn the heat to 450 degrees. 
• After about 15 minutes, your Potato Stacks will be ready.
• You don't want them to burn, but you do want some crispness on the top and sides.
• Once you remove them from the oven, serve them immediately or let them cool.
