Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 6 small-medium Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon of Dried Oregano (You can substitute with thyme or Italian seasoning)
- 1 teaspoon of Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Chipotle Pepper
- 1/2 cup of Gouda Cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup grated Cotija Cheese
- 1/4 cup Melted Butter
- 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Step 1 - Preheat the oven to 400°F degrees. A preheated oven ensures more even cooking. We use unpeeled potatoes for crispness in this recipe. Clean and scrub them well with cold water.
- Step 2 - Using a mandolin slicer, create thin slices of around 1/8 inch thickness. If you don’t have a mandolin, carefully use a sharp knife to achieve even slices.
- Step 3 - Toss the potato slices with butter, oil, herbs, cheese, and spices. Try to get every slice of potato covered for the best flavor.
- Step 4 - Grease the muffin tray with cooking spray or brush with melted butter. Divide the slices of potatoes evenly among the potato cups. It’s ok if they stack up above the cup line. All potatoes should fit perfectly among the 12 cups.
- Step 5 - Bake - Cover the tray with foil (sprayed with non-stick spray) and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil, and roast potatoes for another 20-25 minutes until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven, let them cool just enough to handle, and enjoy your Delicious Spicy Potatoes!
Notes
- Recipe Variation:
- Use Sweet Potatoes instead of Yukon Golds for a sweeter spin.
- Add Crispy Bacon bits for an extra layer of indulgence. - Additional Tips for the Best Chipotle Stacked Potatoes:
- - Look for the same-size potatoes: Using potatoes of the same size and diameter as your muffin tin makes the stack fit nicely. Long and narrow-sized potatoes work nicely for an evenly shaped stack.
- Use a mandolin slicer for perfect thinly sliced potatoes consistency.
- Grease the muffin pan well: Use cooking spray or brush with melted butter. This makes it easier to scoop out the stacks from the pan.
- Serve immediately: These potatoes are best enjoyed fresh from the oven for ultimate crispiness. Reheating can compromise that signature crunch.
