Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
• Using a mandolin and a hand guard, thinly slice the potatoes into a large mixing bowl.
• Add olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, pepper, and salt to the sliced potatoes and toss with tongs until evenly coated.
• On a cutting board, lay out two pieces of bacon overlapping each other vertically.
• Line the bacon with the sliced potatoes, making sure each potato is overlapping.
• 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.
• Bake for 20 minutes. Cover the roses with tin foil, and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
• Top the roses with thyme and Parmesan. Bake for an addition 5-10 minutes uncovered.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes for mashing. Cut into small dice, rinse and place in a saucepan, and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes until soft. Drain well, and mash thoroughly. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then add the egg yolk and mix well. Set aside. Meanwhile, scrub the small potatoes thoroughly and slice thinly. The slices should be no more than 2-3mm thick. Place the potato slices into a bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper and mix thoroughly so that all the slices are coated in the oil. Preheat the oven to 180C. (350F) Brush the inside of each of 10 holes in a 12-hole muffin tin with oil. Divide the mashed potato between the oiled holes. Now, lay out about 10 slices of potato in a row, overlapping the slices. Start at one end and carefully roll them up, then push the rolled up sliced into the mashed potato in one of the holes. If necessary, arrange a few more slices around the edge to finish the 'rose'. Repeat with the remaining slices to make 9 more roses. Bake at 180C (350F) for around 45 minutes until cooked, golden and crispy. Serve at once!

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:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Place cut side of each potato half on work surface, then cut vertically into thin slices, cutting slices as thinly as possible; place in medium bowl.
• Add oil and dry seasonings; toss until potatoes are evenly coated with seasoning mixture.
• Place 2 bacon slices in vertical row on work surface, with short ends of slices slightly overlapping. Top with 1/6 of the potato slices, with curved edges of slices slightly overlapping and straight sides of potatoes even with one long side of bacon slices. Roll up, starting at one short end to resemble rose. Secure with wooden toothpick. Place in muffin pan cup sprayed with cooking spray. Repeat with remaining potato and bacon slices; cover.
• Bake 40 min. or until potatoes are tender and golden brown, covering after 15 min.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan; bake, uncovered, 3 min.
