Description
When you combine potatoes, cream, cheese, garlic, and butter, you just cant go wrong. These individual size portions made in a muffin tin are great as a side, for breakfast with eggs (and bacon!) OR as finger food for a party! Just 85 calories per piece and theyre freezer friendly too! You need to use starchy potatoes as they breakdown when cooked, becoming nice and fluffy on the inside and golden and crunchy on the outside. The best to use are Russet (common in the US), Dutch creams, King Edwards, or red delight. However, great all rounders like golden delight, coliban, red rascal, and Sebago (popular in Australia — the dirt-brushed ones) still works great. I use Sebago which are the brushed potatoes you can get from any supermarket in Australia (ie. the ones with dirt on them). If you are based in the US, a great all rounder to use is Russet which I understand is one of the most widely used potatoes in the US. Fantastic for making ahead! Either freeze them (defrost before reheating) or keep them in the refrigerator. Them pop them in a 180°C/350°F oven for 10 minutes just to heat through. Spraying the muffin tin and the butter and cream helps keep the gratin stacks from sticking to the muffin tin. Also, the muffin tin I use is nonstick. If your muffin tin is not nonstick, spray it generously with oil before putting the potato in to ensure it slips out easily! Because starchy potatoes are used for this recipe, they breakdown and become soft so they sort of bond together which helps keep these stacks upright. Some might slide slightly when you take them out but the resting time helps set them.
