Caramelised muffin pan potato gratins

Caramelised Muffin Pan Potato Gratins are a delightful twist on a classic potato dish. Perfect for any occasion, these individual gratins combine the richness of heavy whipping cream, the sweetness of maple syrup, and the savory flavors of garlic. Each bite offers a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that will impress family and friends.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
120g
2 garlic cloves
6g
4 potatoes
800g
1 tbsp maple syrup
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin.
2. Prepare the Cream Mixture: In a small mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Add the minced garlic, maple syrup, a pinch of salt, and a grind of fresh black pepper. Mix well to combine.
3. Slice the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes (if preferred). Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, thinly slice the potatoes into uniform rounds, approximately 1/8-inch thick.
4. Assemble the Muffin Pan: Start layering the potato slices in each muffin tin cavity. Place a small spoonful of the cream mixture over each layer of potatoes. Continue layering until you have filled each cavity to the top and used up all the cream mixture. Be sure to press down gently to compact the layers.
5. Bake the Gratins: Cover the muffin tin loosely with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the gratins to cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes to set. Carefully use a knife to loosen the edges of each gratin, then gently lift them out.
7. Garnish & Enjoy: If desired, garnish with fresh herbs like chopped parsley or thyme before serving. Enjoy your caramelised muffin pan potato gratins hot!

Tips:

- Slice the potatoes thinly and uniformly to ensure even cooking.

- Use a mandoline slicer for consistent slices.

- Grease the muffin pan well to prevent sticking.

- For enhanced flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary.

- Allow the gratins to cool for a few minutes after baking to help them set before serving.
