Ingredients

  • 14 ounces 400 g floury potatoes
  • 1 egg yolk
  • Approx 1¼ lb 550 g small potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil + extra for oiling the muffin tin
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Peel the 14oz of floury potatoes. Cut into small pieces, rinse well, and place in a saucepan. Cover with cold water, then bring to the boil and simmer for around 15-20 minutes until soft.
  • Drain well, then mash until smooth. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then mix in the egg yolk and beat well. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, scrub the small potatoes thoroughly (do not peel) and slice thinly. The slices should be no thicker than 1/16 inch (2-3mm).
  • Put the slices into a bowl and add the olive oil, salt and black pepper. Mix thoroughly so that the slices are all coated in the oil.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C.6. Brush oil inside 10 of the holes in a 12-hole muffin tin. Divide the mashed potato mixture between the oiled muffin holes.7. Now, lay about 10 of the potato slices in a row, overlapping the slices about halfway. Start at one end of the row and carefully roll them up to form a rosette, then push the rosette into the mashed potato in one of the prepared muffin tin holes. If required, push in a few more potato slices around the edge of the rosette to finish the 'rose'. (You can see a photo tutorial here.)8. Repeat with the rest of the potato slices to make 10 roses in total.9. Bake at 350°C/180°C for about 45 minutes until the roses are golden and crispy. Serve at once!
