INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1 sprig fresh thyme (plus more for garnish)

PREPARATION

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Spray 12 cup standard muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside.

1. 1. Toss potato slices with salt and pepper and layer into stacks in the prepared muffin cups, filling each one to the top but not over the top.

3. Remove the muffin pan from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle fresh thyme and more parmesan on top for garnish.
