Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 Russet potatoes
  • 1 stick of butter
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 4 sprigs of thyme leaves
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup grated gruyere cheese
  • 1/2 cup caramelized onions

Caramelized onions

  • 2 large onions
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp balsamic glaze

Instructions

The caramelized onions

  • Thinly slice the onions and add to a large skillet with butter. Cook stirring often about 15 min or so. Season with salt and pepper and finish with a little balsamic glaze.

The potato stacks

  • Preheat oven to 375. Thinly slice potatoes (preferably with a mandolin). Toss with melted butter, thyme leaves, garlic powder, olive oil, salt and pepper.
  • Grate cheese and spray a muffin tin. Start stacking the potatoes largest to smallest. Every 3 potatoes or so, add a little bit of grated parm, then a few more potato slices, then a little spoon of caramelized onions. Repeat until you get to the top. You can go a little above as the stacks will fall slightly when cooking. Make sure top layer has grated cheese.
  • Repeat and then cover the muffin tin with foil and bake for about 20 min. Turn the oven up to 425 and remove foil, Bake for another 15 min uncovered to get them nice and crispy. Remove and enjoy!

Notes

If you do not have a muffin tin, you can stack these on a piece of parchment on a baking sheet.
