Cheesy Potato Stacks

Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Cheesy Potato Stacks—crispy on the outside, cheesy and tender on the inside. Perfect as a side dish or snack!

Ingredients (Serves 4–6)

• 3–4 medium potatoes, peeled or scrubbed

• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)

• 2–3 tbsp butter, melted

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Optional: chopped fresh herbs (chives, parsley) for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

   • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a muffin tin or small baking dish.

2. Slice the Potatoes

   • Slice potatoes thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) using a knife or mandoline.

3. Layer the Stacks

   • Place a slice of potato in a muffin tin or small stack on a baking sheet.

   • Brush lightly with melted butter, sprinkle with a little garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

   • Sprinkle a little shredded cheese between layers.

   • Repeat until all slices are stacked (4–6 slices per stack). Top with cheese.

4. Bake

   • Bake for 35–40 minutes until potatoes are tender and edges are golden brown.

   • Optional: broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra crispy tops.

5. Serve

   • Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot as a side or appetizer.

💡 Tips:

• For extra flavor, add bacon bits or parmesan between layers.

• Use a mandoline slicer for uniform potato slices and even cooking.

• Can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.

If you want, I can make a 5-minute prep, ultra-cheesy version that comes out extra crispy without needing a muffin tin.
