I love any recipe with potatoes. Whether it’s aloo masala, khatti meethi aloo chaat, the best-ever sweet potato casserole, or perfect creamy mashed potatoes, when I’m eating potatoes, I’m in my happy place. These potatoes are delicious enough to eat on their own, but my favorite way to enjoy them is with my air-fryer chicken wings recipe.
Why you’ll love these potato stacks
Crispy - Perfectly crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, I can never make enough of these for my family. Creative - Bored with the same old potato recipes? These potato stacks are a fun addition to recipes like beef roast with tandoori masala, chicken steam roast, or roast leg of goat (raan). Diet-friendly—This recipe is vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free, making it perfect for catering to a group with assorted dietary restrictions.
Ingredients for potato stacks
Potatoes - The best potatoes for this recipe are Yukon golds. They have a rich and buttery taste and thin skin that crisps well. They also tend to have a smaller diameter than some of the other varieties, so they fit inside a muffin tin well. Cooking oil - Use your favorite neutral cooking oil with a high smoke point. Avocado, canola, sunflower, and peanut oil are great options. Lime juice - Limes are similar to lemons but have a stronger, almost bitter taste. I prefer to use these in my recipe but feel free to use the milder-flavored lemons if they appeal to your palate more. Tajin - This is a Mexican spice blend made of chili powder, lime powder, and salt. It gives this recipe a little kick without making it too spicy.

Substitutions & variations
Add some herbs - Try adding parsley, Thai basil, or some mint to this recipe. If you want to change the flavor profile more drastically, leave out the lime and chilies and go with a simple mix of oil or butter and rosemary, thyme, or oregano. Use cheese - A sprinkle of rich cheese, like gruyere or Swiss, layered between the slices of potato tastes amazing. For more Italian-style potatoes, use parmesan. Add some fat - Add a few tablespoons of heavy whipping cream and use butter instead of oil to create a more decadent, scalloped potato version of this recipe. Try Russet potatoes - If you can’t source Yukon Golds, the best substitute is Russet potatoes. Sweet potato version - Make a sweet potato version with some cinnamon and brown sugar. Make a salt and vinegar version - Substitute vinegar for the lime juice along with some salt and oil for a taste of your favorite potato chips.
