– For 4 servings:<\/p>\n
– 6 large Victoria potatoes (or similar type suitable for frying)
\n – Sunflower oil
\n – Salt
\n – Pepper
\n – 1 muffin tin
\n – 1 mandoline slicer or a sharp knife<\/p>\n
1. Start by peeling the potatoes. Once peeled, use the mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the potatoes thinly, widthwise.<\/p>\n
2. Using a pastry brush, lightly oil the muffin tin. Preheat your oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C). Arrange the sliced potatoes in the muffin tin, overlapping them slightly to mimic the shape shown in the photo.<\/p>\n
3. Begin to roll the slices into themselves. If your rose looks a bit sparse, add more slices around the first set and roll again. Place the formed roses into the muffin tin and use the pastry brush again to oil the tops of the roses.<\/p>\n
4. Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes. As soon as you remove them from the oven, sprinkle the roses with salt while they are still hot.<\/p>\n
Carefully remove the potato roses from the muffin tin and arrange them on a serving platter. These elegant potato roses are now ready to serve and are sure to be a hit with your guests, adding a touch of sophistication to any meal.<\/p>\n\n\n
