How to prepare Potato and Bacon Roses

To make the potato and bacon roses, first wash the potatoes, then slice them as thinly as possible with a mandoline 1. Take a slice of bacon and place the potato slices on top, side by side 2, until completely covered 3.

Salt 4, pepper 5, and season with some thyme 6.

Sprinkle the surface with grated Pecorino cheese 7, then roll up the slice 8 to form a little rose 9.

As you form the little roses, place them into a mini muffin tin 10, drizzle with some oil and pepper 11, and bake in a preheated static oven at 392°F for 20 minutes. Once cooked, take the potato and bacon roses out of the oven and let them cool slightly before enjoying them 12.

Storage

We recommend consuming the potato and bacon roses immediately.

Advice

If you don't like the strong flavor of Pecorino cheese, you can use Parmesan. Alternatively, you can season the roses with a pinch of paprika instead of thyme!
