Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly brush 6 standard muffin cups with butter. Thinly slice potatoes. Place 2 slices in each cup and season with salt and pepper.

Such an easy, impressive recipe! My go-to potato dish for company! Made simpler by slicing potatoes into a bowl and tossing with s&p instead of adding between layers to each. (Easy to add in extras like thyme, cheese, etc etc etc!). If you are trying to decide whether or not to try this, do!! Note: it is important to make sure to use russet potatoes

  Good and easy recipe, definitely agree with the review recommending to mix all slices in a bowl with the spices. Like other reviews, I also added more spice - red pepper, garlic, and thyme. Very versatile recipe.

A very easy recipe, even beginners can do this! What I learned while making this: You really have to make the slices very thin, otherwise it will not be as crunchy as in the picture. Also I found that it tasted a bit boring with just salt and pepper. Next time I will definitely try to add more seasoning such as garlic or herbs to make it taste more interesting.

So simple yet tasty. I added parmiggiano reggiano to the top and next time will add herbs, but this recipe is so good on its own.

I've made them twice and they were awesome! I'm adding a little crumbled bacon between every two layers for an added twist! Thanks to whoever posted this originally!
