I have a new favorite potato dish. I’ve been making it quite often and at this point my kids just refer to it as “those potatoes.”

So, here! Have some “those potatoes!” You’ll love ‘em!

These are basically a Cheaty McCheaterpants version of Pommes Anna, and quite possibly even better than the real deal. Super simple, fun presentation, and amazingly buttery and delicious. I’m in love.

Mini Pommes Anna

Ingredients
2 pounds petite Yukon Gold potatoes
5 tablespoons butter, melted (I used salted, but either works)
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Heat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter the walls of a muffin tin.
Wash and peel the potato. Slice them as thin as you can get them using a knife, mandoline, food processor, or vegetable peeler. (I used a good, sharp knife.) Place potatoes in a bowl and toss with the melted butter, salt, and pepper.
Layer the potatoes in the muffin wells until they are filled to the top.
Cover the pan with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil (and be careful not to steam your hand...it hurts. Trust me.) and bake for another 15 minutes or until the edges and tops start to turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and scoop the potatoes stacks out with a small fork. Enjoy!

What cute little ‘taters! Small serving sizes mean they are calorie-free, right?

These are so cute and tiny and bite-sized! All the better for popping them in your mouth. WIth reckless abandon.

Omigosh! My mom makes the larger version in a cast iron skillet, but not often enough! These look like an easy way to get the yumminess more often!!

Hubs has two things he says when he thinks something could be better – needs peanut butter or be better with potatoes. These would be perfect for the second. Thanks for this one.

Broke out the mandoline tonight, just because of these pics. So glad I did. As were the rest of the dinner guests. This one’s a keeper. Thanks!

This was SUCH a great side dish! And fun for the kids to help with, too. Had them shake the potatoes with the butter, salt and pepper in a baggie. Thanks for sharing! I already added to our list of favorites.

I made these to go with my dinner tonight, my husband who is a chef, was so impressed that I made something he thought only he could make. I loved after dinner when he said, “those potatos were better than great!”

What a neat idea. I’m thinking I can alternate sweet and regular potatoes for some color. Plain or colored, these look great and such a nifty idea.
