Make impressive Garlic Parmesan Potato Roses for an elegant side dish. This recipe shows you how to thinly slice potatoes and arrange them into beautiful, savory spirals baked with garlic butter and Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large Russet potatoes, scrubbed
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin.
  2. Prepare the potatoes: Peel the potatoes if desired, or leave the skin on for color. Slice the potatoes very thinly, about 1/16 inch thick. A mandoline slicer works best for uniform thinness.
  3. Prepare the garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  4. Assemble the roses: Take one thin potato slice and brush both sides lightly with the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle lightly with about 1/4 teaspoon of Parmesan cheese.
  5. Roll the slice: Starting from one end, tightly roll the potato slice into a spiral shape. This forms the center of the rose.
  6. Continue layering: Take a second potato slice, brush with butter, sprinkle with Parmesan, and wrap it around the first roll, slightly overlapping the edge. Continue this process with subsequent slices until the rose is about 1.5 to 2 inches wide.
  7. Place the roses: Gently place each assembled potato rose into a cup of the prepared muffin tin, standing them upright.
  8. Coat the roses: Brush the tops and sides of the assembled roses with any remaining garlic butter. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of all the potato roses.
  9. Bake: Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  10. Serve: Carefully remove the potato roses from the muffin tin. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving this impressive potato presentation.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer set to the thinnest setting to get uniform slices; this is key for easy rolling and even cooking.
  • If the potatoes start to fall apart while rolling, your slices might be too thick or you are not pressing the roll tightly enough at the start.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of dried thyme or rosemary to the garlic butter mixture.
  • If you do not have a muffin tin, you can use a small baking dish and place the roses close together; they will support each other as they bake.
