Why you’ll love these Gruyere and Thyme Potato stacks

There’s a reason I’m always looking for an excuse to make these potato stacks for my friends and family. They are sublimely delicious and also a lot of fun to make!

  • You only need 6 ingredients to make this dish! Not counting salt and pepper.
  • No fancy equipment required, just a non-stick muffin tin to hold their shape.
  • You can make these ahead of time and rewarm them in the oven
  • These potato stacks are vegetarian making them a great side dish for a crowd.
  • You can try different cheese and herb combinations to mix it up! Try asiago, parmesan and rosemary next time around.

Tips for making these cheesy potato stacks

When it comes to this beginner friendly potato recipe, there’s only a few things you need to know in order to make them like a pro!

  • VERY lightly grease your muffin tin with a non stick spray. If you use too much, the potato stacks will be very oily. You can even skip the spray all together if you know your tin is a good quality non stick. Just a quick sprtiz will do the trick.
  • Stack your potatoes and cheese taller than the top of the muffin tin. The potato stacks will shrink down as they cook so by going taller before cooking will ensure you get a nice sized stack at the end.
  • A mandoline will help make quick work of slicing your potatoes and ensure even sizes that will cook evenly.
  • Yukon golds make for the best potato in this recipe. You can sub out a russet but stay away from red potatoes.
  • If you notice your potoato stacks are starting to get too brown on top before they’re fully cooked, just loosely drape a sheet of aluminum foil over the top until they’re done.

Thank you to Forked in the Kitchen for the recipe inspiration!

Prep Time 15 mins
Cook Time 35 mins
Course Side Dish
Servings 12 stacks

Equipment

  • mandoline
  • muffin tin

Ingredients
  

  • 5 medium yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled
  • 6 tablespoons melted salted butter
  • 1 3/4 cup finely shredded gruyere cheese
  • 1 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 4 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • Using a knife or mandoline, slice your potatoes 1/8" to 1/16" thick. Toss sliced potatoes in a bowl with the melted butter, sea salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, combine gruyere cheese, parmesan, minced garlic and fresh thyme.
  • Very lightly grease your muffin tin and layer with 4 slices of potato, 1 big pinch of cheese, 4 more potato slices, another pinch of cheese, 4 more potato slices and another big pinch of cheese. The stacks should be taller than the top of the muffin tin.
  • Place in the oven and bake until tops are golden and crispy, and you can pierce the whole stack with a fork without resistance. If the tops brown too fast, cover with aluminum foil during the remaining cook time.

Notes

  • Cook times will vary based on the thickness of your potatoes and how tall they are stacked.  Start checking for doneness after the 20 minute mark and every five minutes thereafter.
  • If you don’t have fresh thyme, you can substitute with 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme.

#ad | I find myself making these ahi tuna tostadas #ad | I find myself making these ahi tuna tostadas all summer long when I don’t feel like standing in front of a hot stove or bbq. Thanks to @sanjtamari’s newest product, Umami Tamari Splash, it adds just the extra bite of flavor in the summertime for these yummy ahi tuna tostadas.

Not only are they so incredibly quick and easy to assemble, but it makes for a beautiful combo of flavors and textures. The mild heat from the wasabi crema helps cut through the buttery richness of the ahi tuna and the crunchy tostada is the perfect vehicle! I marinate the tuna in the new @sanjtamari newest product Umami Tamari Splash, which adds such a boost of flavor thanks to the red miso, black garlic, kombu and shiitake. It makes for such an easy dipping sauce or you can drizzle it right over the top of your grilled meats and veggies.

I love that @sanjtamari Umami Tamari Splash is organic, gluten-free, and non-GMO, and always easy to find @wholefoods. Shop @sanjtamari at your local @wholefoods: ff.recipes/sanjtamarisplash-wf and find the recipe here: (https://ff.recipes/ahituna-tostadas-wasabi-crema)

Peas are like a seasonal poster child for spring p Peas are like a seasonal poster child for spring produce.  The only problem is that I grew up thinking peas were a disgusting, mushy, side dish.  No offense grandma! 

So I turned to my fool proof method of adding bacon (or in this case pancetta), lots of shallots, garlic, and fresh herbs in order to give veggies a makeover.  Don’t sleep on the mint in this recipe!  It’s just what it needs to round out the salty, savory flavors and add a pop of freshness so it tastes like a bite of spring in every bite.  I hope you like it as much as we do!

Simple ✅  6 ingredients ✅ Quick ✅ Excuse to eat bacon ✅ 

Comment “PEAS PLS” if you want the recipe it make it yourself!

Think you don’t like anchovies? 🐟 Maybe it’ Think you don’t like anchovies? 🐟 Maybe it’s time to give them another try! The trick is to find high quality anchovies so there’s no fishy or metallic taste, just salty, buttery, melt in your mouth goodness.  The other key is to chop them up finely so they blend in super well.

When it comes to this bread dip, I never actually measure anything, and you can customize it so many different ways with what you have on hand. Try, throwing in some chopped up olives are capers! Serve with a big ol ball of burrata! 🧀🤤 Leave out what you don’t like and make it your own. 

 Just use a chunk of bread to taste and measure as you go 🥖
