BACON WRAPPED POTATO ROSES -

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Peel potatoes, if desired, and slice lengthwise between 1/16 to 1/8 inch thickness using a mandoline or vegetable slicer. Remove rosemary leaves from the stem and chop. In a bowl, combine potatoes, garlic powder, black pepper, rosemary, and olive oil. Toss well to coat the potato slices. Place 2 pieces of bacon on a work surface. Arrange potato slices along one edge so they are slightly overlapping. Sprinkle evenly with parmesan cheese. Carefully roll up the bacon and potatoes to form a rose, then put it in the cup of a muffin pan. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Gently fan out the potato slice petals. Bake for 70 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through and the edges are crispy. If the potatoes start to brown too quickly, cover the pan with foil and continue baking until done.
