Preparation

  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.

  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.
