Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil.
- Slice potatoes about 1/8-inch thick. Pat dry with paper towels.
- Whisk melted butter, cream, garlic, thyme, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Add potato slices to the bowl and toss until every slice is coated.
- Stir in half of the Parmesan.
- Stack coated slices into each muffin cup, filling nearly to the top.
- Bake for 25 minutes until the centers are tender.
- Top with remaining Parmesan and bake 10 minutes more until edges are crisp and golden.
- Rest 5 minutes. Loosen with a knife, lift out, and garnish with parsley.
Notes
Variation: Swap thyme for rosemary, or add a little shredded Gruyère with the Parmesan. Serving tip: Finish with a dollop of sour cream or a squeeze of lemon. Storage: Refrigerate up to 4 days; re-crisp in a 375°F oven or air fryer for 5–8 minutes.
