These get gobbled up so fast at parties, I barely snag one for myself!

1. Start by preheating your oven to a crispy 375°F (190°C). Nobody likes a lousy, lukewarm potato stack.

2. Now, scrub those taters and slice ’em thin, about 1/16 inch thick. A mandoline slicer is a game-changer here but watch those fingers.

3. In a bowl that’s big enough to get your hands in, toss the potato slices with olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper until they’re all mingling and coated.

4. Take a standard muffin tin and grease it up to make sure those stacks don’t stick. Then, layer your slices into neat little stacks right up to the top.

5. Sprinkle that golden Parmesan cheese over each stack because, let’s face it, cheese is the best part.

6. Throw (gently) your muffin tin into the oven and bake for about 55-65 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are tender. Pure magic happens in that oven.

7. Let them sit for a few minutes after taking them out – they’re hot and also, they hold together better after resting. Then, use a spoon or two to serve up those adorable stacks and finish with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan, because we’re all about that cheese life.

– If you’re feeling adventurous, swap out half the Parmesan with a sharper cheese like Asiago or Pecorino for a little kick.
– Love garlic? Double up on it. I won’t tell anyone. It can be our little secret.
– Vegan friends! Replace the Parmesan with a vegan-friendly alternative and use about 1 tablespoon of nutritional yeast for that cheesy flavor.
– If you’re tight on time, you can totally prep these a day ahead. Just layer them up, cover with cling film, and chill in the fridge. Then, just pop them in the oven when you’re ready. It’s all about those smart kitchen shortcuts.
– No muffin tin? No problem! You can stack them in a casserole dish, but the baking time may vary so keep an eye out. Remember, we’re going for golden and crispy, not charred and weepy.

There you have it, friends! A recipe that lets you juggle your busy life without compromising on a wholesome, delicious meal. Go ahead, take the credit for being an ultimate kitchen whiz – you deserve it!
