Cheesy Potato Roses

Potato roses with cheese — an easy, elegant side. Baked in the oven; they’re delicious if they pick up a little charred, grilled flavor.

Cheesy potato roses — a fun way to present potatoes.

Ingredients

Start here, then move straight into the method.

  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme (zaatar)
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • 1.5 kg potatoes
  • For more creative potato recipes from Um Taha see: Potato Crisps (Meshbak)

Method

Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.

  1. Brush the cupcake tins with butter, then peel and wash the potatoes and use a potato slicer to cut them into thin rounds
  2. Pour the melted butter over the potato rounds and add the cheese, salt, garlic, thyme, and pepper, then toss so everything mixes well
  3. Arrange the potato slices from largest to smallest, and place them in the cupcake tins with the largest pieces on the bottom so they form a rose shape
  4. Place the cupcake tins in the oven for about 1 hour at 190°C
    Timers: 60 min
  5. Remove the Cheesy Potato Roses from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes only before serving so they set
    Timers: 5 min
  6. Serve the cheesy potatoes alongside salad, chicken, or fish, and optionally garnish with some chopped fresh thyme leaves
