Print Recipe

Garlic Herb Muffin Pan Potato Galettes are crispy, golden-brown mini stacks of thinly sliced russet potatoes layered with garlic, fresh rosemary, thyme, parsley, butter, and olive oil. Baked in a muffin pan, these perfectly portioned bites boast tender, flaky interiors and crunchy edges, making them an ideal snack, side dish, or appetizer that is easy to prepare and packed with fresh herb flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 3 large russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch thick)

Herb and Garlic Butter Mixture

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (or vegan margarine for vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and slice the russet potatoes as thinly as possible, ideally using a mandoline for even thickness. Rinse the slices in cold water to remove excess starch, then pat thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.
  2. Mix the Herb and Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter (or vegan margarine) and olive oil with minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, and parsley. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  3. Layer the Potato Slices in the Muffin Pan: Generously grease each muffin cup with the garlic herb butter mixture. Place a few potato slices in each cup, slightly overlapping them. Spread a bit of the garlic herb mixture between layers to infuse flavor and maintain moisture.
  4. Bake Until Golden and Crisp: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the galettes for 35-45 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through and edges are crispy. If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it on top during the last 5 minutes of baking for a savory crust.
  5. Cool and Remove Gently: Let the galettes cool in the pan for a few minutes to set. Carefully invert each muffin cup onto a plate to release the galettes, preserving their neat layered shape.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer to ensure even potato slices for consistent cooking.
  • Thoroughly dry the potato slices after rinsing to prevent sogginess and achieve maximum crispness.
  • Fresh herbs deliver brighter and more aromatic flavors than dried herbs.
  • Do not overcrowd the muffin cups to allow heat circulation and perfect texture.
  • Allow galettes to cool slightly before removing to maintain their shape.
