POTATO STACKS WITH GARLIC HERB BUTTER

These Crispy Potato Stacks with Garlic Herb Butter come out of the oven with ruffle-y, crispy edges around a tender and creamy centre. They are the perfect side dish for the holidays or for hosting dinner guests you really want to impress. My recipe is adapted from Bon Appétit recipe for Mini Herbed Pommes Anna.

½ C (114g) unsalted butter

"Don't be a hero with the potato nub at the end" is the best advice I've ever received for the mandolin: thanks!

These potatoes would not last longer than a meal in my house. We all love potatoes and these look heavenly. 😋

[SuperMiIk]

The way you de-stemmed the herbs was so smart

[georgannputintsev]

I used to make these for my guests in France many years back. By circle layering like rose petals, they will form a flower too!

[aliendesign]

I love how when you flip it, the spring of thyme is baked into the top layer. Great presentation. Can't wait to try it!

[davidriordan]

The cheese grater trick was mind blowing im doing that for all my herbs now

Golley jeepers....another food I will never make but forever crave.

Best kitchen mandolin advice you will ever hear. Don't be a hero with the nub. Wiser words were never spoken. I will be making these. They look AMAZING.

[RodneySlinger]

I did this and they were excellent.
I did it again and they were even better because I laid an x of bacon in the muffin pan before the potatoes went in.

[YodasPapa]

you can easily shape these into kinda rose shaped flower things. look really good. can't remember exactly how I did it but you definitely start big and finish small

[ericbumbles]

I've made these myself, but cheddar on top. Really awesome

We finally bought our first mandolin a month ago and I’ve used it a few times and it’s really sharp and have huge respect for that sharp blade. Wearing a glove is a great idea. Thank you for that great idea. Thank you for the delicious looking recipe - it looks mouth watering.

[klabjcobevjnsofj]

There are so many ways to make potatoes amazing. Seems like tthe longer it takes me to prepare them, the faster my family eats them up lol

[aliciapolo]

That recipe is a winner!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Great idea to use a cut-proof glove w the mandoline. Thanks!!

[tarispe]

Your right about the mandoline, I cut the tip of my finger off using it for the first time. It is sooo sharp! I will never touch it again without a glove! But these potatoe stacks look amazing!

All my favorite things! Garlic, butter and potatoes!❤❤❤

[ddavies]

You, lady, are an absolute star. Thank you for explaining what you were doing, with ingredients too. I used to love the potato dishes that we used to make in hotel restaurants. These individual Dauphinoise are a delight. Thank you. ❤

[tanhighway]

This is my new favourite tone, cadence and humour. Oh and the potatoes ROCK.

[tookalook]

[Missmori]
