Sweet Potato Stacks
These sweet potato stacks are made up of layers of thinly sliced potato seasoned with garlic, thyme and gouda cheese. Their edges crisp up while the middle becomes perfectly soft. A great side dish for a holiday or weeknight meal.

Notes
- Look for sweet potatoes on the small/medium size. If potatoes are too large, cut them to fit into muffin tins.
- A mandolin is your best friend for a recipe like this. It slices the potatoes thin and evenly.
- A pair of clean hands are the best tools for mixing the cheese throughout the potatoes. Separate the slices to evenly coat.
