Preparation for Scenic Baked Potato Roses
Peel, wash, and then slice the potatoes with the mandoline or slicer; they must be thin and all the same thickness. Rinse them well and then soak them in water for about 10 minutes.
This helps to remove the starch and better shape the potatoes. After the necessary time has passed, rinse them again and then start forming the roses.
Roll a first small slice, continue with the other slices.Always try to start placing the other slices where the previous one ends, helping to hold them with your hand. Once you have reached the consistency of a rose, place it in a silicone, aluminum, or parchment paper mold, lightly greased with oil.
If there are any empty spaces, insert more slices into the mold, shape the slices well to achieve the effect of a real rose, then drizzle with a little oil and a pinch of salt.
Place the molds on a baking sheet and transfer them into a preheated oven.
Bake the potato roses in a static oven at 392°F for about 30 minutes, cover the surface with a sheet of aluminum foil for the first 15/20 minutes to prevent them from burning, remove it towards the end and let the potatoes brown well.
The cooking time of the potato roses also depends on the power of your oven; sometimes it takes longer, sometimes less; you’ll judge by eye when they are well cooked.
For a crunchier effect, remove the mold a few minutes earlier and continue cooking the potatoes without it!Serve the oven-baked potato roses on a serving plate, accompany them with a base of green salad and some cherry tomatoes for a touch of color to the dish.
