We often innovate in the Home Chef Test Kitchen, but just as often, we hew close to tradition. And why not? Traditions are traditions for a reason, after all. For instance, we'd like to thank the guy (or gal) who first paired horseradish with steak. Totally old school, totally delicious. And the potatoes pressé: a traditional French preparation we've modified for our purposes, with thin slices of potato being pressed into cups and baked into layered, cheese-y perfection. New traditions in your kitchen start with meals this good.

1 Form the Potato Pressé
Peel potatoes, halve lengthwise, and cut into very thin half moons.
In six muffin cups, shingle potato slices flat at a 90-degree angle until cups are halfway full, using about five to seven slices per cup. Four slices will overlap to form a circle. Press potato down into cups and season cups with 1/4 tsp. saltDivide cheese between cups. Then repeat shingling as before with remaining potato slices, pressing them firmly into cheese. Potato slices may overflow cups, and there may be extra slices. Season cups again with 1/4 tsp. salt. -
2 Bake the Potato Pressé
Dot potato cups evenly with butter. Spray a piece of foil with cooking spray and tightly wrap muffin tin, sprayed-side down.
Bake in hot oven, 20 minutes.Remove foil. Bake again until golden brown, 10-15 minutes.Rest baked pressé 5 minutes, then slide a knife around potato cups to release potatoes from tin.While potatoes bake, prepare remaining ingredients. -
