- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the potato mixture in a circular pattern, overlapping each layer.
- Sprinkle the top with grated Parmesan and thyme.

Notes
- Cheesy Delight: Add layers of Gruyère between the potatoes for a melt-in-your-mouth experience.
- Herb Garden: Incorporate a mix of basil, rosemary, and oregano for a fresh, herbaceous taste.
- Spicy Twist: Include a dash of cayenne pepper or sliced jalapeños for those who favor a spicy kick.
- Sweet and Savory: Introduce thinly sliced apples between the potato layers for a sweet contrast.
- Vegan Version: Substitute the butter with olive oil and skip the cheese, or use a plant-based alternative.
