- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the potato roses.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash and peel the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt and skin for a clean, smooth texture.
- Slice Potatoes: Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, thinly slice the potatoes into even slices to allow for tender baking and easy shaping.

- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the potato roses turn golden brown and the edges become crispy.

Notes
- Using a mandoline slicer ensures even and thin slices for best results.
- Fresh rosemary can be substituted with dried rosemary if needed, but fresh provides a brighter flavor.
- Make sure potato slices are well coated in oil to get crispy edges.
- Be careful when arranging slices to avoid breaking the thin edges.
- Serve immediately for best texture; reheating may soften the crispy edges.
