# Ingredients:

→ Dairy and Fat

01 - 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
02 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
03 - 1/4 cup finely shredded Gruyere cheese

→ Seasonings

04 - 2 teaspoons garlic powder
05 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
06 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

→ Produce

07 - 5 medium sweet potatoes, about 3 pounds, peeled and sliced into 1/8-inch thick rounds
08 - Fresh herbs, such as rosemary, optional

# Steps:

01 - Set oven to 400°F. Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper.
03 - Fold in grated Parmesan and Gruyere cheese until thoroughly combined.
04 - Add sweet potato rounds to the bowl and gently toss to coat each slice uniformly with the butter-cheese mixture.
05 - Layer coated sweet potato slices into each muffin cup, stacking just above the rim to account for shrinkage during cooking.
06 - Cover muffin tin tightly with aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes.
07 - Remove foil and continue baking for an additional 30 to 35 minutes until tops are deep golden and crisp, and potatoes are fork-tender.
08 - Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then loosen each potato stack by running a butter knife around the edges.

# Notes:

01 - Select sweet potatoes of similar size to ensure even cooking and easier stacking in muffin tins.
