Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes scrubbed, about 6 medium (1.1 kg)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted (57 g)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for greasing
  • 3 cloves garlic finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese finely grated, plus 2 tablespoons for topping (50 g)
  • flaky salt and chopped parsley optional, for serving

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C) with a rack in the center. Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin, including the rims.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter, olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper.
  3. Slice the potatoes 1/16 inch (2 mm) thick, adding them to the bowl as you go. Add 1/2 cup Parmesan and toss gently until every slice is coated.
  4. Stack the slices into the muffin cups, about 1/2 inch above the rim, pressing lightly. Drizzle any remaining butter over the tops.
  5. Cover the tin tightly with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  6. Uncover, sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes more, until deep golden and tender in the center.
  7. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, loosen with a thin knife and lift out. Sprinkle with flaky salt and parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Make ahead: Par-bake (20 minutes covered, 15 uncovered), refrigerate up to 2 days, then finish at 400°F (200°C) for 15 to 20 minutes.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers 3 to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispness.
