Description

Deliciously layered cheesy sweet potato stacks baked to perfection.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup (50 g) Parmesan cheese, grated
  • ¼ cup (27 g) Gruyere cheese, finely shredded
  • 5 medium sweet potatoes, about 3 pounds, peeled and sliced into -inch thick rounds using a mandolin
  • fresh herbs, such as rosemary (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Stir in the Parmesan and Gruyere cheese until evenly combined.
  4. Add the potato slices and toss gently until all slices are evenly coated in the butter-cheese mixture.
  5. Stack the coated potato slices into each muffin cup, filling them just above the rim. They will shrink as they cook.
  6. Cover the muffin tin with aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes.
  7. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking, uncovered, for another 30-35 minutes, or until the tops are dark golden and crispy and the potatoes are tender.
  8. Let the stacks cool for 5 minutes, then run a butter knife around the edges to loosen each stack.
  9. Serve warm, with a light sprinkle of kosher salt and chopped chives.

Notes

  • Adjust seasoning according to taste.
  • You can substitute sweet potatoes with regular potatoes if desired.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor.
