Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 sprig fresh thyme
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
2 lbs. medium russet potatoes (about 4-5), peeled and sliced 1/8 to 1/16 inch thick

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375F. Spray 12 cup standard muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In a small sauce pan, whisk together cream, thyme, garlic, and nutmeg. Bring to a slow simmer and remove from the heat. You want the cream just heated through. Discard the thyme.

  • Spoon cream over each potato stack, filling almost to the top. You will have couple or so slices exposed. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

Another recipe from the Kraft Foods Tapas Party (yes, I am getting ready for ZWT III and all the recipes sounded good and EASY!). Name brands are removed to protect those of us who don't want to buy their stuff! :) Also modified because KF put too many of the instructions for their recipe in the ingredient list. So mine LOOKS more complicated, but it's not. Cook time includes refrigeration.
