I'm getting ready to rock an epic Easter brunch this year and these Parmesan Potato Stacks are going to be front and center. I like to think of these as the brunch version of the classic au gratin potatoes and hasselback scalloped potatoes.
Simple to make, delicious to eat, and way cute... these really can't be beat. Parmesan Potato Stacks are made up of super thinly sliced yukon gold potatoes that are coated in an olive oil and butter mixture and seasoned with salt, pepper, parmesan cheese and from fresh thyme. They make for a pretty fab side dish for not only Easter brunch, but any dinner party!
Parmesan Potato Stacks
Parmesan Potato Stacks are made up of super thinly sliced yukon gold potatoes that are coated in an olive oil and butter mixture and seasoned with salt, pepper, parmesan cheese and from fresh thyme.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese plus extra for garnish
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme plus extra for garnish
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 8-10 yukon gold potatoes sliced super thin (about 1/16 inch thick)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Spray 12 standard muffin cups with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, olive oil, parmesan, chopped thyme, kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Add the potato slices and toss to coat evenly.
- Layer the potato slices into stacks in the prepared muffin cups, filling each one to the very top. Bake until the edges and tops are golden brown and the centers are tender, 45 to 55 minutes. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the Parmesan Potato Stacks rest for 5 minutes. Carefully remove them with a small spoon and sprinkle with thyme leaves and extra Parmesan cheese if desired along with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
Notes
I recommend a mandolin here unless your knife skills are top notch.

about how many pounds of potatoes? assume smaller sized Yukon golds are better?
These potatoes are delicious! They are my go-to side dish for many years now when I entertain and a favorite for many guests!
would it be ok to use the disposable muffin tins?
never tried that but I don't see why not!
These are so good! I tossed everything in a gallon Ziploc bag and shook so the potatoes got coated evenly.
can these be done ahead?
YES!! and then re-heated in the oven!
Can you use Russett potatoes?
sure!
You replied that they can be baked ahead of time and reheated. Can I assemble it today and bake it tomorrow?
I would assemble today and par-bake for 20 minutes and finish baking tomorrow!
Can I assemble it today and bake it tomorrow?
These look fabulous!
I made them with sweet potatoes. They were fabulous!
As a personal chef for a family, I'm always looking for interesting side and this was certainly a hit with the family! I added a small amount of butter in the bottom of the tins and it was lived by all!!
Hi Gabby,
Thank you they look great... can I slice potatoes ahead and keep them in water until the day of?
ya that would work for a limited amount of time - probably 8 hours or less. and then dry them off really well before baking
How many people does this recipe serve ?
6-8!
awesome big hit with my kids, the Murphy boys love their potatoes. Thx for sharing this recipe.
I assessed Yukon Gold potatoes. I peeled and sliced them and soaked them for a couple hours and changed the water three times to get rid of the starch. Also used small wooden skewers to keep them in place but removed skewers before serving. They were great!
