Servings servings
Ingredients
- 4 potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 12 strips breakfast bacon
- thyme (fresh, optional for serving)
- Parmesan cheese (grated, optional for serving)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Grease a muffin or cupcake tin. Slice 4 potatoes thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Place the slices in a bowl and mix with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried rosemary, 0.5 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp salt. Prepare the 12 strips breakfast bacon.
Cooking
- Place two strips of bacon overlapping on a board to make a long strip. Arrange the potato slices overlapping on the bacon. Carefully roll the bacon and potatoes into a rose and stand it upright in the muffin tin. Repeat with the rest of the bacon and potatoes. Bake the potato rosettes in the oven for twenty minutes. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for another fifteen minutes.
To serve
- Remove the foil, optionally sprinkle the rosettes with Parmesan cheese and some fresh thyme. Return them to the oven uncovered for another five minutes until the top is golden brown. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a mandoline for even, thin slices so that the rosettes cook nicely and get an even shape.
- Feel free to vary with herbs or add a little grated cheese between the potato slices for extra flavour.
