Equipment

  • 1 small saucepan
  • 1 Mandoline or sharp knife
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Muffin tin or ramekins

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 30 g butter
  • ¾ cup / 185 ml cream or coconut cream
  • ½ cup / 125 ml milk or plant-based milk
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 600 g potatoes starchy variety, like Agria or Sebago
  • oil spray

Cheese

  • 100 g Gruyère or cheddar cheese grated
  • 40 g Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

Before you start

  1. Preheat Combi Steam oven to 100% steam.

Make cream mixture

  1. Peel and mince 2 cloves garlic. In a small saucepan, heat garlic, ¾ cup cream, ½ cup milk, 30 g butter, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper until warm (do not boil).

Layer stacks

  1. Peel and thinly slice 600 g potatoes (2–3 mm thick) using a mandoline or sharp knife. Grate 100 g Gruyère or cheddar cheese. In a mixing bowl, toss sliced potatoes with the cream mixture until evenly coated. Lightly spray a muffin tin or ramekins with oil spray. Layer potato slices into each hole, pressing down gently. Sprinkle with Gruyère or cheese between layers.

Steam cook

  1. Place muffin tin on a rack in the preheated Combi Steam oven and cook for 25 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Remove from oven.

Crisp finish

  1. Change oven setting to fan bake and preheat to 220 °C with medium steam or 50%. Sprinkle tops with 40 g Parmesan cheese. Return the tin to the preheated oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until golden and crisp.

Serve

  1. Allow stacks to cool slightly, then run a knife around edges to loosen. Serve warm as a side dish to roasts, poultry, or fish.

Notes

  • Potatoes can be made ahead to the steaming stage, cooled, then crisped just before serving.
  • Use muffin liners if you prefer easier removal.
