• Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C (all oven types).

• Assemble stacks: Place potato slices into the muffin tin so they go halfway up the muffin tin holes. Try to match by size to make them into neat stacks.
• Cream: Drizzle each potato stack with 1 tsp of cream mixture - use 1/2 of the mixture.
• Cheese slice: Top with cheese slice.
• Top with potato, cream then thyme: Top each stack with remaining potato slices so the height is about 1cm / 1/3" above the rim of the muffin tin (they sink once baked). Drizzle with remaining cream mixture and sprinkle with most of the thyme (reserve some for topping).
