Chef John's Potato Roses Recipe

Ingredients

3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes

no wider than a muffin tin cup

⅓ cup melted butter

or as needed

divided

1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary

2 teaspoons kosher salt

¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 pinch cayenne pepper

¾ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with melted butter reserving the rest for the potatoes.

Step 2

Slice potatoes to about 1/16 to 1/8 inch thickness using a mandoline or vegetable slicer. Discard end pieces that are mostly skin. Place slices in a bowl and add rosemary salt black pepper and cayenne pepper. Drizzle in the remaining melted butter. Toss with your hands to evenly distribute about 2 to 3 minutes trying to separate all the potato slices. Grate about a quarter of the cheese over the potatoes. Toss. Add more cheese; toss again. Continue until all cheese is incorporated.

Step 3

Stack potato slices in uneven layers (to resemble flower petals) in prepared muffin tin ending with some of the smaller pieces.

Step 4

Bake in preheated oven until potatoes are tender 45 to 60 minutes testing with a metal skewer for doneness. Potatoes should be very soft. If potatoes look too brown but aren't yet cooked through cover pan with foil for the final minutes of baking.

Step 5

Loosen edges of potato roses with a fork and lift out of pan to serving dish.
