Wait, what are “potato stacks?”

Roasted potato stacks are basically thinly sliced potatoes tossed in butter and herbs, then rigorously positioned on prime of one another in a stack and roasted to crispy perfection.

In my cacio e pepe model, we’re putting every potato stack onto a pile of cheese AND including cheese on prime to get a crispy, tacky exterior to every stack! Some folks assemble the sliced potatoes in a muffin tin to carry their “stack” form, however I feel they’re simple to pile up on a daily, lined baking sheet.
