You need to use starchy potatoes as they breakdown when cooked, becoming nice and fluffy on the inside and golden and crunchy on the outside. The best to use are Russet (common in the US), Dutch creams, King Edwards or red delight. However, great all rounders like golden delight, coliban, red rascal and Sebago (popular in Australia &#8211; the dirt brushed ones) still works great.<\/p>\n<p>I use Sebago which are the brushed potatoes you can get from any supermarket in Australia (ie. the ones with dirt on them). If you are based in the US, a great all rounder to use is Russet which I understand is one of the most widely used potatoes in the US.<br \/>\nGet long large ones that are suitable to cut into cylinder shapes.<\/p>\n<p>2. Fantastic for making ahead! Bake per recipe then either freeze them (defrost before reheating) or keep them in the refrigerator. Them pop them in a 50F oven for 10 minutes just to heat through.<br \/>\n3. Spraying the muffin tin + the butter and cream helps keep the gratin stacks from sticking to the muffin tin. Also, the muffin tin I use is non stick. If your muffin tin is not non stick, spray it generously with oil before putting the potato in to ensure it slips out easily! Because starchy potatoes are used for this recipe, they breakdown and become soft so they sort of bond together which helps keep these stacks upright. Some might slide slightly when you take them out but the resting time helps &#8220;set&#8221; them.<\/p>\n<p>4. Any pourable cream is fine though thickened \/ heavy cream will yield creamiest result because they have a higher fat content.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/?attachment_id=6216\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6216\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oil spray \u00a02 lb potatoes, large long ones (Note 1) 2 tbsp \u00a0butter 2 garlic cloves, minced 1\/2 cup cream, heavy \/ thickened (Note 4) 1 tsp dried thyme 1\/2 tsp salt Black pepper 1 cup grated melting cheese (cheddar, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/2017\/11\/15\/cheesy-mini-potato-gratin-stacks-from-recipetineats-com\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6214"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6214\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6217,"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6214\/revisions\/6217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mimbly.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
