  • 4 medium Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes Choose for buttery flavor and perfect texture.
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half For that luxurious richness.
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese Provides flavor.
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Provides creaminess.

  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked pepper Adds a touch of spice.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Adds savory depth.
  • 2 tablespoons butter Use for greasing the muffin tin.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice the potatoes thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) using a mandoline or sharp knife.
  3. In a big bowl, mix the sliced potatoes with cream, cheeses, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well coated.
  4. Grease muffin tins generously with butter.
  5. Stack the coated potato slices in the muffin tins, pressing down gently to form little towers.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
  2. Let them cool slightly before carefully removing from the muffin tins.
Serving
  1. Enjoy warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For best results, ensure uniform slices using a mandoline. Store prepared potato mixtures in the fridge up to 3 days before baking. Can be frozen before baking.
