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
-
Preheat Oven
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a muffin tin or small baking dish.
-
-
Slice the Potatoes
-
Slice potatoes thinly (about 1/8 inch thick) using a knife or mandoline.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
Do you want me to do that?
