Thank you Potatoes USA for sponsoring this Purple Potato Roses post. Make a delicious and convenient meal for your family tonight with potatoes!
Have you ever made purple potatoes? They have the most gorgeous purple color and a wonderful flavor. I created this Purple Potato Roses recipe as a festive side dish that's so pretty yet simple to make with just a few ingredients.
Purple Potato Roses are a perfect side dish to pair with your favorite meal. Aren't they lovely?! You won't believe how easy they are to make. Impress your guests at a dinner party or serve Purple Potato Roses at your next holiday get together.
These Potatoes USA Purple Potatoes were easy to find at my local grocer in the produce department. Look for a purple bag in the potatoes section. Potatoes are a staple at my house. There are so many recipes you can make with potatoes, they're like a culinary canvas of unlimited possibilities! Potatoes are also a convenient food with very little prep needed to create a fabulous meal in little time.
To make these Purple Potato Roses, the first step is to wash your purple potatoes. I placed them in a colander and rinsed them in the sink.
The next step is to slice them up. I used a very sharp chef's style knife to slice very thin slices of purple potatoes. Be sure to separate the end pieces since you won't be using them for this recipe, but you can save them to cook later. If you have a mandolin slicer, even better. That will allow you to get even thinner slices which would be good, but don't worry if you don't have one.
Place the potato slices in a large microwave-safe bowl. Add oil, salt, pepper and garlic pepper. Toss together and microwave for 2 minutes. Let cool. On a cutting board or clean counter, place 15 slices in a row, making sure the slices overlap and are placed close together. (In other words, place one slice down, then the next on top of that one, but ¼” to the right.)
Starting from the left, roll the line of potato slices up like a sleeping bag and quickly place in a cup of your prepared mini-muffin pan.
Repeat with remaining slices until you have created 12 potato roses and placed in prepared pan.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until browned on the edges but not too dark. Let cool slightly and serve with fresh parsley on the side for garnish.
Aren't they gorgeous? And so tasty too! Your guests will love these fancy Purple Potato Roses. I hope you will try them out soon.

Ingredients
- 24 purple potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¾ teaspoon salt

- 4 sprigs fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 12-cup mini muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Wash purple potatoes and cut into very thin slices (short ways, so you have roundish pieces as opposed to long oval pieces). Place potato slices to a large microwave-safe bowl. Add oil and seasonings. Toss with hands to coat. Microwave potatoes for 2 minutes. Let cool.
