Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
12-24 small tender thyme sprigs plus 2 teaspoons coarsely chopped leaves
1 garlic clove, minced
1 3/4 pounds small waxy potatoes (such as Yukon Gold or German Butterball), each slightly larger than a golf ball
2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Special Equipment
A standard 12-cup muffin pan; a mandoline

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Brush muffin cups all over with butter. Line bottoms with parchment-paper rounds. Arrange 1-2 small thyme sprigs in center of each round. Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon butter into bottom of each cup.
  • Add chopped thyme and garlic to remaining butter in saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Using mandoline, slice potatoes crosswise into very thin rounds (less than 1/16" thick), placing them in a large bowl as you work. Pour herb butter over and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat well.
  • Divide potato slices among muffin cups, layering overlapping slices to create a circular pattern. Lightly press center of each to make compact. Drizzle any remaining butter and seasoning from bowl over.
  • Cover muffin pan tightly with foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake until potatoes can be pierced easily with the tip of a knife, about 35 minutes. Remove foil; invert a rimmed baking sheet over pan. Turn, lightly tapping on counter, releasing potatoes onto sheet. Rearrange any slices that may have fallen out. Using a metal spatula, carefully turn cakes, thyme sprigs facing down. Discard parchment. DO AHEAD: Potatoes can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.
  • Increase heat to 425°F. Uncover cakes if needed. Bake until bottoms and edges are golden and crispy, 25-30 minutes. Carefully turn cakes, thyme sprigs facing up.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my mini pommes Anna came out mushy.

I found that the potatoes took longer to cook than the recipe said.

These mini pommes Anna were a little too oily for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of potatoes, but these mini pommes Anna were actually really good.

These pommes Anna were a little bit time-consuming to make, but they were definitely worth the effort. They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

I love that this recipe uses herbs to flavor the potatoes. It gives them a really unique and delicious taste.
