These Cheesy Potato Roses are a stunning and delicious side dish made with thinly sliced potatoes, seasoned to perfection, layered with gooey cheese, and baked into crispy, golden roses. Topped with fresh green onions, they’re perfect for dinner parties or cozy family meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet), thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or a mix of mozzarella and cheddar)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes:
    Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice them thinly (about 1/16 inch) using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife. Uniform slices ensure even cooking.
  2. Season the Slices:
    In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Coat evenly.
  3. Assemble the Roses:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with non-stick spray or olive oil. Lay out about 8–10 potato slices in an overlapping line on a cutting board. Roll them tightly to form a rose shape and place each rose into a muffin tin cavity. Repeat for all cavities.
  4. Add Cheese Layers:
    Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over each rose, letting it fall between the layers for extra cheesiness. For additional flavor, add Parmesan cheese on top.
  5. Bake to Perfection:
    Cover the muffin tin loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15–20 minutes until the edges are golden and crispy, and the centers are tender when pierced with a fork.
  6. Garnish and Serve:
    Let the potato roses cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh finish.

Notes

Serving Suggestions:

  • Pair these roses with sour cream or garlic aioli for dipping.
  • Serve alongside roasted chicken or steak for an elegant meal.

Tips & Tricks:

  • Use a silicone muffin tray for easier removal.
  • Keep slices thin and consistent for better rolling and cooking.
  • Add chili flakes to the seasoning if you like a spicy kick.

Storage & Reheating:

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in an oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes to restore crispiness.
  • Avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy.
