Ingredients
– 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled or unpeeled
– 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
– 1 clove garlic, grated
– 1 teaspoon coarse salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream, grated garlic, dried thyme, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Warm over medium heat until the cream is heated through, then remove from heat and discard the thyme.
3. Slice the Yukon Gold potatoes into thin rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife.
4. In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with the warm cream mixture until evenly coated.
5. Layer the potato slices into the prepared muffin tin, stacking them vertically and filling each cup to the top.
6. Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère cheese over the top of each stack.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the tops are golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
– For a lighter version, substitute half of the heavy cream with low-fat milk.
– Experiment with different cheeses like Parmesan or cheddar for varied flavors.
– These potato stacks can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated; reheat in the oven before serving.
