Method

To make the Baked Potato and Bacon Roses, start by washing and scrubbing the potatoes carefully. This recipe, in fact, doesn’t call for peeling them.
Using a mandoline, cut slices 1 to 2 mm thick and start shaping the roses: make a strip of potato slices, overlapping each one about 2/3 of its length over the previous one, until the strip is about 30 cm long.
Brush with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and start rolling up, beginning with the first potato slice you laid down.
Once you have your potato rose, wrap it in a slice of bacon and place it in a muffin pan so that it holds its shape while baking.
Continue until you have used up all the ingredients, then bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 30 minutes. After this time, take them out of the oven and serve the Baked Potato and Bacon Roses while still hot. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
