Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon butter, unsalted, softened
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled
  • 1 1/4 cups 1/2 & 1/2
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 1/3 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded yourself (don't use pre-shredded cheese)

How To Make cheesy potato cups

  • Step 1
    Adjust oven rack to lowest position & heat oven to 425 degrees F. Pulse panko in food processor until finely ground, about 5 minutes. Evenly coat each muffin cup with softened butter & then with ground panko. Cut each potato in 1/2 lengthwise, then cut each 1/2 into 3 wedges. Cut each wedge crosswise into 1/4" thick slices. Combine potatoes, 1/2 & 1/2, salt & pepper in large bowl & microwave, covered, just until tender, 12 - 15 minutes, stirring once.
  • Step 2
    Meanwhile, toss cheddar, parmesan & cornstarch together in bowl; reserve 1/3 C for topping. Add remaining cheese mixture to hot potato mixture, stirring until smooth. Divid potato cheese mixture evenly among muffin cups & smooth. Sprinkle cups with reserved cheese.
  • Step 3
    Cover muffin tin with foil sprayed with vegetable oil spray & bake for 10 minutes. Discard foil & continue to bake until golden brown, 13 - 15 minutes. Run paring knife around perimeter of muffin cups. Let potato cups cool in muffin tiin on wire rack for 5 minutes. Place rimmed baking sheet on top of muffin tin & invert potato cups, tapping on muffin tin to release cups. Invert cups onto wire rack & let cool for 5 minutes. Serve.
