Mashed Potato Roses Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Add cut potatoes into a large pot and cover by about 1-inch with cold water. Place over medium heat and simmer (do not boil) potatoes for 15 minutes or until fork tender.

• Begin by peeling and dicing the potatoes, then reserve them in cold water. Transfer the water and potatoes into a medium sized pot. Cook over high heat and bring to a boil, lower the heat and cook for an additional 8 to 10 minutes. When they are fork tender, transfer the potatoes to a strainer and drain. Return potatoes to pot. In a small pan, heat the butter, cream and garlic. Add the butter/cream mixture to the potatoes and mash with wooden spoon or masher. Be careful not to over whip. Finally add the rosemary, salt, and freshly ground black pepper, to taste.
