Ingredients
- 800 g potatoes, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons cream
- 4 tablespoons grated fresh parmesan
- Olive oil or cooking spray, for greasing
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed or minced
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Step-by-step Directions
1. Preparing the Oven and Muffin Tin
Begin by preheating your oven to 200°C (392°F). Generously grease a 12-hole muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the potato bites once cooked.
2. Mixing Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream, grated parmesan, and minced garlic. Add the thinly sliced potatoes to the bowl, tossing them gently to ensure each slice is evenly coated with the creamy mixture. Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to taste.
3. Assembling the Potato Stacks
Evenly distribute the potato mixture among the prepared muffin tin holes, stacking them neatly. Press down slightly to compact them, which helps in forming a stable stack.
4. Baking
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes. The potato bites are done when the potatoes feel tender to a fork’s touch and the tops are golden and crisp.
