Get ready to be wowed by these individual Parmesan Potato Casseroles! Cooked in muffin tins, these cheesy potato delights are not just delicious but also make for a stunning presentation at your next dinner party. Pair them with a succulent slow-cooked lamb leg or a hearty pot roast for a truly divine dining experience.
The key to these petite casseroles is slicing the potatoes thinly and evenly—I recommend using a mandoline for precision, but a sharp knife will do the trick too. Preparing them in buttered muffin tins allows each serving to bake up crisp and golden, perfect for serving directly to your guests.
Parmesan Potato Casseroles
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for greasing
5 pounds medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch rounds
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, divided
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease 12 muffin cups with some of the melted butter.
In a large bowl, combine the potato slices, the remaining melted butter, 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and white pepper. Toss well to coat.
Neatly stack the coated potato slices into the muffin cups, forming about 1½-inch tall stacks.
Bake for 60 minutes, or until the potato edges and tops are golden brown and the centers are tender.
Remove from the oven and let them sit for 5 minutes to settle.
Garnish with the remaining Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley before serving.
Variations and Notes:
Add a layer of sliced onions or a sprinkle of crumbled bacon between the potato layers for added flavor.
Substitute sweet potatoes for a different twist on this classic dish.
These casseroles can be prepped in advance, refrigerated, and popped in the oven just before your guests arrive, making your hosting duties a breeze.
Enjoy the perfect combination of elegance and comfort at your table with these personalized Parmesan Potato Casseroles.
