Potato Roses are the ultimate side dish to enjoy any time of the year and the perfect comfort food.
Serve them at dinner parties and special occasions, and you can be sure to impress your friends and family.
Potato roses are often held together with bacon, but this recipe uses parmesan and melted butter to ensure the thinly sliced potato flowers keep their shape. Bake in the oven until golden and the edges are crisp.
If you want to make this fun take on a potato gratin in advance, store them in the fridge and reheat at 180°C /350°F until hot.
