🥔 Potato Slices in a Muffin Pan (Crispy Mini Potato Cups)
Perfect for bite-sized snacks or a fun side dish — crispy on the edges, soft inside.
🛒 Ingredients (Makes 6–8 cups)
- 2–3 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- Salt & black pepper
- Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or rosemary
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped bacon, chives, sour cream
🔥 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grease a muffin pan lightly with oil or nonstick spray.
2️⃣ Prepare potatoes
- Thinly slice potatoes (¼ inch or less).
- Toss in olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional seasonings.
3️⃣ Layer in muffin pan
- Arrange slices vertically or in a slightly overlapping circular pattern in each cup.
- Press down gently to compact.
4️⃣ Bake
- 25–35 minutes until edges are golden and crisp, center is tender.
- Optional: add cheese during last 5 minutes of baking.
5️⃣ Serve
- Let cool 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove with a small spoon or knife.
- Top with bacon, sour cream, or chives if desired.
🌿 Tips
- Use a mandoline slicer for uniform thickness.
- Soak raw slices in cold water 15 minutes to remove starch for extra crispiness.
- Don’t overcrowd each muffin cup — thinner layers crisp better.
If you want, I can give you:
- A cheesy version
- A breakfast version with eggs and ham
- Or a loaded potato cup version with multiple toppings
