Ingredients Oil spray 1 kg / 2 lb potatoes, huge lengthy ones (Note 1) 2 tbsp / 30 g butter 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 cup cream, heavy / thickened (Note 4) 1 tsp dried thyme 1/2 tsp salt Black pepper 1 cup grated melting cheese (cheddar, gruyere, swiss, mozzarella) Fresh thyme leaves for garnish, optional Instructions Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Spray a essential 12 gap muffin tin with oil. Peel potatoes. Stand upright then cut into cylinder shapes, then slice potatoes into thin slices round 2mm/ 1/10" thick. Place butter, garlic, cream, salt, pepper and dried thyme in a microwave evidence cup or bowl, then melt in 30 moment bursts. Stir, then set aside. Place potato slices into the muffin tin so they pass midway up the muffin tin holes. Try to match via means of measurement to make them into neat stacks. Drizzle each one potato stack with 1/2 tsp of cream mixture. Sprinkle HALF the cheese over the potato stacks. Top with remaining potato slices. Drizzle with remaining cream combination and remaining thyme. Cover loosely with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake with out foil for 10 minutes or till golden and the potato is soft. Let stand for 5 minutes earlier than removing.

You have to make use of starchy potatoes as they breakdown whilst cooked, fitting good and fluffy on the interior and golden and crunchy on the outside. The greatest to make use of are Russet (common within the US), Dutch creams, King Edwards or red delight. However, vast all rounders like golden delight, coliban, red rascal and Sebago (popular in Australia - the dust brushed ones) nonetheless works great. I use Sebago which are the brushed potatoes you'll be able to get from any supermarket in Australia (ie. those with dust on them). If you're founded mostly within the US, a vast all rounder to make use of is Russet which I recognize is one in every of probably one of the foremost broadly used potatoes within the US. Get lengthy huge ones which might be appropriate to chop into cylinder shapes. 2. Fantastic for making ahead! Bake per recipe then both freeze them (defrost earlier than reheating) or hold them within the refrigerator. Them pop them in a 180C/350F oven for 10 minutes simply to warmth through. 3. Spraying the muffin tin + the butter and cream allows hold the gratin stacks from sticking to the muffin tin. Also, the muffin tin I use is non stick. If your muffin tin isn't non stick, spray it generously with oil earlier than setting the potato in to guarantee it slips out easily! Because starchy potatoes are used for this recipe, they breakdown and grow to be gentle so they kind of bond collectively which allows hold those stacks upright. Some may slide somewhat whilst you're taking them out however the resting time allows "set" them. 4. Any pourable cream is tremendous although thickened / heavy cream will yield creamiest consequence simply due to the fact they have a upper fats content. 5. Mini Potato Gratin Stacks nutrition per serving. Insanely sensible!
