Ingredients

For this recipe, you will need the following:

• 4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work best)
• 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional additions (if you want extra flavor):

• Garlic powder
• Paprika
• Fresh thyme or parsley

Kitchen Tools Needed

Before starting, gather these simple kitchen tools:

• Muffin tin or cupcake pan
• Sharp knife or mandoline slicer
• Mixing bowl
• Pastry brush or spoon
• Oven

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
This temperature allows the potatoes to cook through while also creating crispy edges.

Lightly grease a muffin tin with butter or cooking spray to prevent the stacks from sticking.

Step 2: Slice the Potatoes

Wash and peel the potatoes if desired.

Using a sharp knife or mandoline, slice the potatoes into very thin rounds—about 1/8 inch thick.

Thin slices are important because they cook evenly and stack nicely in the muffin pan.

Place the slices in a bowl.

Step 3: Season the Potatoes

Pour the melted butter over the potato slices.

Add:

• Salt
• Black pepper

Gently toss everything together until the slices are lightly coated. The butter helps the potatoes crisp in the oven and adds a rich flavor.
