Tips

  • Thinly slice each potato into almost paper-thin slices; the thinner, the better, for crispy edges.
  • Ensure each potato slice is well coated with the herb butter mix for best flavor.
  • Fill each muffin mold to the very top with potato layers, as the stacks will shrink down as they bake.
  • This recipe is best served fresh, but you can prep everything ahead of time and bake when ready to serve.
