Ingredients
- 1 roll puff pastry (rectangular)
- 3.5 oz potatoes
- aromatic herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano or others)
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt
Tools
- Baking tray
- Mandoline or slicer
- Bowl
- Parchment paper
Preparation
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and dry them. If using new potatoes and you are sure of their source, you can leave the skin on, otherwise peel them.
Unroll the puff pastry on the work surface and divide it into 8 rectangles (or 6 if you prefer).
With the edge of a teaspoon, make a slight incision to outline the border of each rectangle. Alternatively, you can fold the pastry all around.
Transfer the puff pastry onto the baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Arrange the potato slices on the rectangles, slightly overlapping them.
Place the tray in a convection oven at 375°F and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the potatoes are cooked.
The potato puff pastry bites are ready to be served!
Tips and Variations
The potato slices must be very thin, otherwise they won’t cook in the oven. If you can’t slice them thinly and evenly, I recommend boiling them for a few minutes in salted water before placing them on the pastry.
You can flavor with rosemary, thyme, oregano, marjoram, parsley, chives, or other herbs to taste, dried or fresh. You can also add some garlic powder if you like.
In the last few minutes of baking, you can add strips of speck or small cubes of provola cheese on top of the potatoes.
