At Brick Barn, we’re all about food, wine, and creating memories around the table. For us, cooking isn’t just about nourishment—it’s how we show love, build camaraderie, and celebrate life’s best moments together. Every Thanksgiving, I make it a point to try one new recipe, and when I discovered these crispy, cheesy potato stacks, they quickly became a staple. Their golden layers and savory flavors perfectly complement our wines, especially our 2021 Chardonnay Reserve. Sharing this recipe feels like sharing a piece of our Brick Barn family tradition, where great food and wine bring us closer together.

Happy cooking,
Elizabeth

Ingredients

  • 4-6 medium Russet or Idaho potatoes, cut into 1/8 inch thick slices
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) salted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 1-2 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar or gruyere cheese
  • kosher salt and black pepper

Directions

  • Preheat the oven 400° F. Lightly grease a 12 cup muffin tin.
  • Cut the potatoes using a Mandoline or very sharp knife into 1/8 inch thin slices.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the butter, oregano, thyme, garlic, both cheeses, and a large pinch of both salt and pepper. Add the potatoes and toss well to coat. Layer the potatoes evenly among the prepared muffin tin, stacking the layers all the way to the top. The potatoes will shrink down as they cook.
  • Cover with foil and place on a baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and roast for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue cooking another 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and golden. Run a butter knife around the edges of each stack to release them. Serve immediately, sprinkled with a little sea salt.

Pairing Notes:
The creamy, herb-infused layers of these crispy potato stacks pair exquisitely with the vibrant citrus, white peach, and subtle minerality of our 2021 Chardonnay Reserve, enhancing its silky texture and refreshing finish.
