Ingredients
  

  • 3 large russet potatoes about 1.5 lbs, thinly sliced with a mandolin
  • 2 green chilies finely chopped
  • 1- inch piece of ginger minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves chopped
  • 6-7 sprigs cilantro or coriander leaves, chopped
  • 1 stick ½ cup vegan butter
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon dry mango powder aamchur, substitute: sumac
  • ½ teaspoon chaat masala optional but recommended for tang
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare Spiced Butter

  • Melt the vegan butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the green chilies and minced ginger, cooking for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  • Stir in the turmeric, cumin, dry mango powder, chaat masala, and salt. Let the spices bloom for 20-30 seconds.
  • Turn off the heat and mix in the mint and cilantro.

Prepare Potatoes

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Thinly slice the potatoes using a mandolin. Place the slices in a large bowl and pour the spiced butter over them. Toss well to coat evenly.

Assemble Mini Pommes Anna

  • Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with vegan butter or oil.
  • Stack the coated potato slices into each muffin cup, pressing down lightly. Stack higher than the rim as they will shrink during baking.

Bake

  • Cover the muffin tin tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the foil, carefully flip each stack (use a fork or small spatula), and bake uncovered for another 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy.

Serve

  • Remove from the oven and let the mini pommes anna cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the tin.
  • Serve as an elegant side dish with a main like biryani, or enjoy as a starter with a vegan yogurt dip or chutney.
