How to make potato cheese stacks

Slice the potatoes

Cut the potatoes into very thin slices, ideally with a mandoline, so they bake evenly.

Season and layer

Toss the slices with melted butter, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Stack them in an oiled muffin tray with a little cheese between layers.

Bake until crisp

Bake at 190°C for 35 to 40 minutes, until the tops are golden and the centers are tender.

Helpful tips

Use potatoes of similar size for neat stacks. Let them rest for 5 minutes before removing them from the tray.

Conclusion

Potato cheese stacks are simple but elegant. They work well with salads, grilled chicken or roasted vegetables.
