  • Total Time: 60 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 24 purple potatoes

Seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Garnish

  • 4 sprigs fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the potatoes: Wash and peel the purple potatoes thoroughly. Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, thinly slice each potato into uniform slices about 1-2 mm thick to ensure even cooking and a delicate texture.
  2. Season the slices: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced potatoes with olive oil, salt, ground pepper, and garlic powder. Toss gently so that each slice is evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
  3. Form the roses: Take a few potato slices and layer them in a semi-overlapping pattern to create a petal effect. Starting at one end, carefully roll the slices into a tight rose shape. Place each formed potato rose onto a parchment-lined baking tray, ensuring they stand upright and are spaced evenly.
  4. Bake to perfection: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the potato roses for about 35-40 minutes or until the edges are crispy and the interiors are tender. Rotate the baking tray halfway through to ensure even baking.
  5. Garnish and serve: Once baked, remove the potato roses carefully from the tray and transfer them to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh parsley sprigs for a pop of green color and a fresh herby aroma. Serve warm as an impressive accompaniment to your main dish.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for uniform thin slices to achieve the best texture and appearance.
  • Keep potato slices submerged in water before use to prevent browning if preparing ahead of time, then dry well before seasoning.
  • You can substitute purple potatoes with other varieties like red or Yukon gold for different color effects.
  • Handle the potato roses gently as they can be fragile after baking.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle some grated Parmesan or herbs like thyme before baking.
