These parmesan rosemary potato stacks will wow your guests! With thin layers of potatoes brushed with melted butter, sprinkled with parmesan and fresh rosemary, these potato stacks are pretty and delicious.

Potatoes are so versatile, aren't they? We can mash them, grill them, and even turn them into accordions! These parmesan rosemary potato stacks are another fun way we can enjoy potatoes.

These potato stacks are deceptively easy to prepare, but look like you slaved for hours. They are impressive looking, and more exciting than regular old roasted or mashed potatoes.

Serve them with herb crusted broiled salmon and balsamic winter kale salad for my version of the perfect dinner!

Reasons you'll ♡ these rosemary potato stacks

  • they are pretty and impressive looking
  • they are actually pretty simple to prepare
  • they have a texture similar to scalloped potatoes and are sinfully delicious

Slice potatoes evenly

The most important thing you need to know about this recipe is that you will need to slice your potatoes as evenly as possible. This ensures that the potatoes cook through evenly. I recommend using a mandoline (I have this really basic one).

When using a mandoline, it's very important to pay close attention so you don't cut your finger or hand. Some mandolines may come with a safefty guard, but if not, you can purchase a safety glove to protect your hand while using it.

Set your mandoline to cut 2 mm slices of potatoes.

Bake stacks in a muffin tray

After slicing the potatoes thinly, we arrange them in a muffin tray. Having the potato stacks surrounded by the muffin tray helps to keep them from drying out, and also helps conduct the heat around them, cooking them through. I do not recommend using a sheet pan as your potatoes may not cook through the same and may dry out.

When selecting potatoes for this recipe, be sure to keep in mind that they must fit into the muffin tray. Large or wide potatoes will not be suitable for this recipe.

Variations

Think of this recipe as a great base option that you can play around with. Here are some options for you:

  • potatoes– this recipe calls for white or yukon gold potatoes, however you can also swap for sweet potatoes; check out our sweet potato stacks!
  • butter– you may swap the butter for coconut oil or olive oil but you’ll want to add in some extra salt to enhance the flavors
  • herbs– go wild here and use your favorites. Some ideas: thyme, rosemary, oregano, sage, tarragon
  • parmesan– swap for mozzarella, gouda, havarti, or your favorite cheese. Make sure to finely grate it so it melts evenly between the layers.

    3 stars
    Great basic recipe and easy to assemble, Denice. To make this a five star recipe, I would avoid mixing the melted butter and seasonings all together—keep them separate. It is a distribution of seasoning problem. Next time I will use your recipe, but with the following changes: Keep the butter separate. Lightly butter each potato slice, then sprinkle salt & pepper, sprinkle herbs, and I added the addition of a sprinkle of garlic powder—or—even better, save a step by adding fresh grated garlic to the melted butter. This recipe needs garlic. Next time around, these potato stacks will be five star! Thanks for posting.

      Hi Ginna, I totally understand. Ads are unfortunately a necessary evil as they keep my site running and help me provide free recipes. Were you on your mobile or on a computer? I can have a look and see about having the number reduced.

      I agree with you completely! Once I find a recipe that I want to try, I do a word search for "print" and hit that to pull up the PDF. It works much better for me:-)

    These are so pretty! Perfect side or maybe even for a brunch with some eggs. I look forward to trying this recipe. I just got rid of my mandoline, it was worn out but I do have a box grater that might work. Fingers crossed!

    Wow those look amazing. Super impressive - so I'm not sure I believe you when you say they're easy! 🙂 I definitely need to make those soon, I think my kids would really like that. No mandolin though, but I do have a slicer thing that might work!

    Stuffing is the BEST! I could probably eat an entire batch over the kitchen counter with a spoon. Maybe I have, but I would never admit it 😉

    Love these potato stacks, they look so fancy!

    I've never had a potato stack before! It sounds much better than boring mashed potatoes. I know I would be happy to see the stacks on the holiday table. They look delightful!

    We'll be skipping the big dinner for Thanksgiving, but we always do a turkey with all the sides for Christmas and these little potato stacks would be perfect! Would it be corny to tie a chive around each - make them look like little gifts 😉

    I feel like you kind of won the Thanksgiving lottery, you had someone else cook for you AND no dishes to clean! 😉 potatoes and stuffing are my favorite part of turkey day too! And these potatoes stacks look delish! Love the ease and presentation! Perfect! Cheers, girlie! <3
