Potato Roses
Potato roses are a dramatic and delicious twist on your traditional potato side dish. Thinly sliced yellow potatoes, bacon, and pepper jack cheese are rolled into delicate rose shapes, then baked in a muffin tin until the edges turn golden and crisp.
Ingredients
- 2.5 Pounds Alsum Yellow Potatoes (about 4 large potatoes)
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 4 Ounces Thin-cut Bacon (about 8 slices)
- 3-4 Ounces Pepper Jack Cheese, cut into 1-inch strips
- Cooking Spray
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a muffin tin with cooking spray so the roses do not stick.
- Slice potatoes thin, using a mandoline if you have one or a sharp knife. Toss the potatoes in a medium bowl with the olive oil, salt, and pepper to season.
- On a clean surface, lay out the potato slices overlapping each other in a row that’s about 15-20 slices long. Continue with all of the potatoes until you have 8 different shingled rows of potatoes.
- Lay 1 slice of bacon along the bottom edge of the potato row. Place pepper jack strips on top of the bacon so they run the length of the potatoes.
- Starting at one end, carefully roll everything together into a spiral. The overlapping potatoes will form the “petals”.
- Place the rolled potato rose into a muffin cup. Repeat until you have 8 roses in the muffin tin.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the bacon is fully rendered and the potatoes are golden and crispy. Serve individually, or as a bouquet, and enjoy!
