Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized russet potatoes, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Wash and dry the potatoes, then slice them thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Aim for slices that are about 1/8 inch thick.
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the potato slices in the oil mixture until evenly coated.
- Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or oil. Start layering the potato slices in a spiral fashion, overlapping each slice slightly to form a rose shape. Continue until the muffin cup is filled.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Carefully remove the roses from the muffin tin and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm.
