4. Layer the potato slices into the muffin cups, stacking them neatly.
5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese between some layers and on top.

8. Serve warm and enjoy.

Description

These cheesy potato stacks are a fun and creative twist on traditional roasted potatoes.
The layers of thin potato slices absorb the buttery seasoning while baking, creating a soft
and flavorful interior. Meanwhile, the cheese melts between the layers and forms a deliciously
crispy crust on top. The muffin tin helps keep each stack perfectly shaped, making them ideal
for individual servings.

Tips

• Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin potato slices.
• Try different cheeses such as mozzarella, parmesan, or gouda for new flavors.
• Add garlic powder or paprika for extra seasoning.
• Press the stacks gently before baking to help them hold together.
• Line the muffin tin with parchment or spray well to prevent sticking.

Correction

If the potatoes are still firm after baking, simply return them to the oven for an additional
5–10 minutes until tender. Make sure the potato slices are thin enough so they cook evenly.
Also avoid overcrowding the muffin cups, as this can prevent proper cooking.

Enjoy

Serve these Oven-Baked Cheesy Potato Stacks fresh from the oven for the best flavor and texture.
They pair wonderfully with roasted meats, grilled chicken, or a fresh salad. Crispy, cheesy, and
comforting, these little stacks are guaranteed to become a favorite side dish in your kitchen. Enjoy!
