Muffin Tin Potatoes (stacks) are a mini version of a traditional potato bake cooked in a muffin tin. Herbed Potato stacks pair well with everything! We make thinly sliced potatoes with parmesan, season and oven bake to crispy perfection!
Ground Beef Casserole, Slow Cooker Lemon Garlic Chicken and my Chicken Wings are all delicious dinner recipes that pair with a side dish like our creamy garlic potatoes, skin on roast potatoes or horseradish mashed potatoes.
Similar to the Quick Potato Bake, we use dried onion and thyme for the essential herbs to season these potato stacks that burst with flavour!
What are individual Muffin Tin scalloped potatoes?
Herbed Potato stacks are made from thinly sliced potatoes which are seasoned, mixed with a little cream and cheese then oven baked.
With herbs that compliment the potatoes these au gratin cheesy potatoes can be served as individal servings for every plate!
Serve with proteins like steak, pork, chicken and fish!
In both our Skin on Roast Potatoes and Creamy Garlic Potatoes we talked about saving time and energy by not peeling the potatoes! We do it again for this recipe, where the skins stay on and the potato peeler in the draw.

The spray of cooking oil ensures that the potatoes don't stick to the tin and it is SO MUCH EASY to clean when you do this!

Crispy Layered Potatoes
You can test that the potatoes are cooked by inserting skewer into one stack. If it goes in smoothly, they are ready!
Leave the muffin tin to cool for a couple of minutes then use a bread and butter knife to remove the potatoes from the tin.
Serve your individual au gratin stacks with mustard yoghurt. It is a simple combination of low fat Greek yoghurt and mustard. Simply stir to combine!
The potatoes will keep in the fridge for 3 days.
Simply reheat in either the oven or the microwave.
For pops of colour and flavour, garnish with salt, cracked pepper and freshly chopped parsley!

📖 Recipe
Muffin Tin Potato (stacks)
Equipment
- Regular muffin tin (12 hole)
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon
Ingredients
- 9 washed potatoes Note 1
- 3 tbs dried onion Note 2
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme Note 3
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- ½ cup cream
- ½ cup parmesan cheese Note 4
- 1 teaspoon salt and pepper
Mustard Yoghurt
- ½ cup Greek yoghurt Note 5
- 2 tbs Hot English mustard
- cracked pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C / 350-375°F / Gas Mark 4-5
- Use a mandolin to thinly slice your potatoes
- In a medium sized mixing bowl combine sliced potatoes, salt and pepper, thyme, rosemary, dried onion, ½ the parmesan cheese and cream. Use a spoon to thoroughly stir together.
- Spray a 12 hole regular sized muffin pan with cooking oil
- Pinch the creamy potato mix into stacks and place in the muffin tin. Repeat until all 12 holes have a 1 - 2 inch stack of the herbed potato mix
- Place in the oven and cook for 15 mins.
- Use an oven mit to remove the tin, sprinkle each potato stack with remaining parmesan cheese and cotinue to bake for another 20 - 30mins. Test they are ready by inserting a skewer into one potato stack, if it slides in without resistance, turn the oven off and let cool for 5 mins.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley
- Wait for the potatoes to cool down slightly. This will mean the cheese sets and use a spoon on the side of each potato stack to remove it from the tin.
Mustard Yoghurt
- Combine Greek Yoghurt and Hot English Mustard in a small bowl and mix together until combined
- Top with a sprinkle of cracked pepper

Notes
- Note 1 I use regular washed potatoes for this recipe and leave the skins on.
- Note 2 Dried onion will be found in the herbs section of the supermarket. It bring the onion flavour, but saves time peeling and cutting a whole onion.
- Note 3 An Australian tablespoon measures 20ml. An American one is slightly smaller at 14ml.
- Note 4 ½ of the Parmesan cheese goes INTO the potato mix as we season. The remaining ½ gets sprinkled over the stacks after they have cooked for 15 mins.
- Note 5 The Mustard Yoghurt is an optional addition. It is thick and creamy and a nice compliment to the potatoes. You can use djion mustard for a milder taste as hot English mustard (or American/Australian is hot, hot, hot!)
