These were FANTASTIC! I used 1% milk instead of cream, because that's all I had and I don't think it made a bit of difference. The bottom sort of stuck to the nonstick pan, of course it did, that's my luck, so I ended up just re-stacking them with the top pieces that had browned. These "stackers" would be great for company or just as a side for the family! We really enjoyed these. A really great spur of the moment recipe that I will definitely be making again!
Muffin-Pan Potato Gratins
Source: Martha Stewart Everyday Food, November 2010
adapted There's Always Thyme to Cook
Printable Recipe
2 medium-sized Russet Potatoes, very thinly sliced
6 tablespoons heavy cream (I used 1% milk)
coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Preheat oven to 400°.
Lightly coat 6 standard muffin cups with unsalted butter. Place two slices of potato in each cup and season with salt and pepper. Continue to add potato slices, seasoning after a few slices, until the cups are filled. Pour 1 tablespoon heavy cream over each cup. Bake until potatoes are golden brown ad tender when pierced with a knife, about 30-35 minutes. Run a knife around each gratin. Place a baking sheet on top of the pan and invert to release the gratins. Flip right side up and serve.

These sound awfully easy. I wonder how they'd be with goat's milk. I'm looking for a side for a luncheon with a lactose intolerant guest.
ReplyDeleteThese look extremely simple and good looking.
ReplyDeleteEasy, simple, healthy and delicious!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Funny how sometimes the thing with the fewest ingredients is the best:@)
ReplyDeleteThose look amazing! I'll have to try them out.
ReplyDeleteThat looks nice! What a great way to serve up potatoes.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! These would be perfect for a party! Happy Halloween.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, and don't they look delicious. Another bookmarked.
ReplyDeleteThis is a neat idea! You can control the portions. This is great at parties. And also for home, my kid is a potato eater!
ReplyDeletethe Irish in me says yummy and now I am officially hungry. I am definitely going to have to try those sometime!
ReplyDeleteThose look fun and make such a nice presentation. You must have a tool to get your potatoes sliced so thin.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I finish my outdoor cleanup I am going to try some magazine challenges - I have quite a stack that I haven't gotten to yet :)
That sure is easy! And delicious too. I would enjoy munching on them right now instead of looking at the lone Butterfinger candy bar that I set aside from the candy bowl and am determined not to open (I hope) :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw this in "Everyday Food" I thought it looked good, but now after seeing how they turned out for you I think they look great!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a Happy Halloween!

Such a great idea! I'm going to remember this for the holidays! Too bad your nonstick pans weren't. Maybe a little melted butter would help? I'll find out ;)
ReplyDeleteI love this...I will be trying it...wonder if a little parchment in the bottom of the muffin tins would solve the problem???
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting with me!!!
This is one I am going to have to try! Thanks for the recipe!

This looks just so yummy! In fact, I loved exploring the fantastic recipes on your blog. I know where to visit now when I need a little culinary inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYummy! These might be good for Thanksgiving, correctamundo?
ReplyDeleteWhy does it sound so easy when you do it and like a major production when Martha does it?
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea - sounds like a great change for serving potatoes!
ReplyDeleteWow, they really do sound easy, and they look oh so delicious! :)
ReplyDeleteMade these tonigt......YUM! I added. Little parmesan to the top at the end!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to add the Parmesan, I'll do that next time! Thanks!
DeleteI made these tonight! They were delicious. I mixed some pepper, seasoning salt, and garlic powder together and put that on every couple layers of potato. Turned out great. A little hard to get out of the pan, but worth the effort. Next time I will have to make at least twice as much as the family scarfed them up:) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThey are hard to get out of the pan, but they are so good! I may try little parchment circles on the bottom next time, maybe that will help. Love the idea of the seasoning between the layers, sounds great, thanks!
