Crispy Potato Rosette Recipes

CHEF JOHN'S POTATO ROSES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with melted butter, reserving the rest for the potatoes.
• Slice potatoes to about 1/16 to 1/8 inch thickness using a mandoline or vegetable slicer. Discard end pieces that are mostly skin. Place slices in a bowl and add rosemary, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Drizzle in the remaining melted butter. Toss with your hands to evenly distribute, about 2 to 3 minutes, trying to separate all the potato slices. Grate about a quarter of the cheese over the potatoes. Toss. Add more cheese; toss again. Continue until all cheese is incorporated.
• Stack potato slices in uneven layers (to resemble flower petals) in prepared muffin tin, ending with some of the smaller pieces.
• Bake in preheated oven until potatoes are tender, 45 to 60 minutes, testing with a metal skewer for doneness. Potatoes should be very soft. If potatoes look too brown but aren't yet cooked through, cover pan with foil for the final minutes of baking.
• Loosen edges of potato roses with a fork and lift out of pan to serving dish.

• Starting at one end, gently roll up the bacon, creating a potato rose.
• Place the rolled potato roses in a greased muffin tin. Repeat with the remaining bacon strips and potatoes.

DUCHESS POTATOES

Steps:

• Prepare a piping bag with large open star tip.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Fill a 3-quart pot with 4 inches water and 1 teaspoon salt. Add potatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain; return potatoes to the pot.
• Cook potatoes over low heat until remaining water steams off, about 3 minutes. Let cool, at least 15 minutes.
• Place potatoes in a food processor and process until smooth. Let stand for 5 minutes. Add butter, egg yolks, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Mix until just combined; spoon into the piping bag.
• Pipe potato mixture onto the prepared baking sheet into eighteen 2-inch rosettes with a circular motion, finishing with a small peak in the center. Refrigerate until slightly firmer, about 25 minutes.
• Mix egg and heavy cream together in a bowl; brush mixture onto the rosettes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.

CRISPY POTATO ROSETTE

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes. Slice them very thinly.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan (a stainless steel pan will do, too).
• Lay half of the potatoes in a spiral form in the pan, so that they overlap each other, like the petals of a rose. Make sure that the middle of the spiral is closed. Cook at medium heat for about 8-10 minutes. Do not stir them around. The starch of the potatoes should keep them together. Also check the edges of the potatoes. They shouldn't get brown to fast. (Adjust heat accordingly).
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• While the potatoes are browning, slice the ham and the cheese into 1 inch strips.
• First layer half of the cheese strips across the top of the potato rosette, then layer the ham. Finish off by topping the ham with the rest of the cheese. (The grandmotherly cook said, "the cheese acts as glue and helps hold the rosette together).
• Cover the potato rosette with the other half of the potatoes.
• Next, take a flat plate that fits into the pan, place it over the potato rosette so that the bottom of the plate is facing upwards, carefully turn the pan over, holding plate and pan, so that the potato rosette is now on the right side of the plate. (It sounds complicated, but is easy). Be careful and protect your hands with oven mitts, as some hot oil could spill out.
• The rosette should still be intact. Using a spatula, carefully slide the potato rosette back into the pan.
• Brown another 10 minutes or until the potatoes are done.
• Serve hot with a side of green salad.
