Crispy Potato Muffins: A Golden Delight

Crispy Potato Muffins are a fantastic side dish that combines creamy interiors with crispy, golden-brown edges. These potato stacks are baked in muffin tins, making them perfect for portioned servings at dinners or special occasions. Infused with garlic herb butter and topped with parmesan, these muffins are a true crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

For the Garlic Herb Butter:

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• Black pepper to taste

For the Potato Muffins:

• 3 lbs Yukon Gold or yellow potatoes, thinly sliced (1/16″ thick, using a mandolin for uniformity)
• 12–18 small sprigs fresh thyme
• ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
• Neutral oil for brushing the muffin tin

To Finish:

• Flaky salt (like Maldon salt)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Muffin Tin:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush a 12-cup muffin tin with neutral oil.
2. Make the Garlic Herb Butter:
   • Melt butter and mix it with garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
3. Slice and Coat the Potatoes:
   • Thinly slice the potatoes and toss them in the garlic herb butter to coat each slice evenly.
4. Assemble the Muffins:
   • Place a sprig of thyme at the bottom of each muffin cup. Layer potato slices in the cups, starting with smaller slices at the bottom. Sprinkle parmesan cheese halfway through and near the top of each stack.
5. Bake the Muffins:
   • Cover the muffin tin with foil and bake for 25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
   • Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C), remove the foil, and bake uncovered for another 15 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
6. Serve:
   • Gently remove the potato stacks from the muffin tin using a skewer or tongs. Sprinkle with flaky salt and serve upside down with thyme sprigs on top.
