What Is a Potato Stack?
Potato stacks are roasted potatoes stacked up vertically, usually in a muffin tin. The potatoes are sliced thinly, arranged and stacked one over another to form a stack.
This Crispy Potato Stacks recipe is absolutely delicious, rivaling the crispy leaf potatoes recipe, except that they come in individual stacks, crispy tops and bottoms, and is probably my new favorite side dish now.
After baking and roasting in the oven, every layer of the potato stack has golden brown and crispy edges and bottoms. They are basically the best homemade potato chips baked in a muffin pan!

How to Make Potato Stacks?
Potato stacks are very easy to make at home with very simple ingredients. The basic steps are:
- Slice the potatoes into thin slices of 1/16-inch-thick.
- Season the sliced potatoes with unsalted butter, olive oil, salt and herbs.
- Stacking up the potatoes in a muffin pan.
- Bake and roast in the oven.
It’s a fun recipe to make and the end results are absolutely delicious and gorgeous in presentations.
Tips on How to Cook Potato Stacks?
I am sure you ask “Do I need a mandolin slicer?” The answer is no. Here are my tips and techniques:
- Use Yukon gold potatoes with a diameter of about 2 1/2 inches in the center. This will make sure that the sliced potatoes fit well into a standard muffin pan.
- Do not peel the skin of the potatoes. After roasting, the skin becomes crispy.
- Slice the potatoes with a shark knife evenly. This will make sure that the potatoes cook evenly.
- You don’t need a mandolin slicer, unless you have a blade that slice to 1/16-inch in thickness.
What Herbs Do I Need?
For herbed potato stacks, I used rosemary and Italian parsley, infusing every slice of the potato with earthy and herb aromas.
This recipe is a winner and yields the most delicious potatoes you’ll ever make in your kitchen. They have the crispiest tops and bottoms, buttery and very tasty. Try my recipe and you will love it.

I can’t do dairy. Would Earth Balance be a good substitute or do you have any ideas?
I am not sure of that brand.
Can I bake for 30 mins, put them in the fridge for a few hours then finish in the oven just before serving? I would bring to room temp before finishing in the oven.
I think so!
How did this work out. I am thinking of making them for Christmas and would love to make ahead of time
I have made these a few times much to my family’s delight. I even layered with sweet potatoes, also fab!
These were delicious. I made them twice and each time, they we’re not crisp on the bottom. What am I doing to cause this?
Thanks,Sandy
Hi Sandra, try to use bottom heat in the oven.
You may be using too big of potato. You’ll get best results with a potato that is small enough to leave an posed diameter around the edge. In other words, don’t buy large baking potatoes.
I have made these many times and I love them, as well as all of your recipes. I plan on making it for XMad with you herb salmon which cooks at 400. Can I also cook the potatoes at 400?
Thanks!
Yes you can try.
Can you also make these wth red potatoes?
Sure you can!
Thank you Rasa, loved this recipe. Not only do they taste great but looked amazing. Easy to put together and they look so fancy! I’ve sent this recipe to my family.
Awesome Georgette. Thanks!
Could you make these ahead and freeze them? I have quite a few potatoes I need to use up. Thanks
No recommended.
would it be ok to use the disposable muffin tins you can buy in the store? or do you think they cook better in a heavier pan?
You can use disposable muffin tins.
These are really good. I used the large muffin pans because there’s no way the slices would’ve fit in the small ones. Otherwise, they were very tasty.
Made this recipe tonight and my husband and I both loved it! Using my mandolin to cut the potatoes (oh, I love using a mandolin) made the easy recipe steps even easier. The stacks looked so cute and they were just as described — crispy on the top and bottom, and so very billowy and creamy in the center. I’ll be making these little stacks again soon, Thanks for the great recipe!
