Creamy Garlic Parmesan Baked Potato Stacks Recipe: Easy & Impressive Side Dishes Vegetables Holidays Gluten-free Vegetarian Low Sodium Recipes

Mashed potatoes and baked potatoes are delicious, but there are so many ways to cook a potato. Smashed potatoes, Ukrainian potatoes, Amish potatoes and even German potatoes are in my recipe rotation. Now, this garlic and Parmesan potato stacks recipe has joined the club.

Muffin tins make this impressive potato recipe easy to assemble. Simply cook the cream, fresh garlic, nutmeg and thyme in a saucepot. Season the potatoes with salt and black pepper and layer them in the muffin cups. Spoon the cream over the potatoes and bake in the oven until golden and tender.

Serve these creamy, garlicky, cheesy stacked potatoes as a side dish with chicken, pork, lamb, beef or seafood. Next time I'm going to try making this gluten-free recipe with Yukon gold potatoes.
