Directions

1. Prepare the ingredients for the recipe. In addition to products, you will need silicone molds for muffins.
2. Peel potatoes, wash and cut into very thin circles.
3. Stir in grated cheese and breadcrumbs.
4. Preheat oven.
5. You can form roses from potatoes and bacon right away in molds greased with oil. Roll up a strip of bacon, place in the center of the mold, wrap one or two circles of potatoes around, then wrap the bacon around the potatoes again. Alternate slices of potato and bacon, laying them out like petals in a circle, in the form of a rose.
6. (Alternatively, lay out one or two strips of bacon lengthwise, lay the potato slices on top of them, and then roll the bacon with the potatoes to form a rosette. Then place the roses in the muffin tins.)
7. Drizzle the bacon and potato roses with butter and sprinkle with the cheese and breadcrumbs mixture.
8. (You can immediately toss the sliced ​​potatoes with butter, adding spices if desired, and then roll up the potato and bacon roses. Or you can sprinkle cheese on the bacon-lined potatoes before rolling.)
9. Send prepared roses from potatoes and bacon with cheese to the oven, heated to 180-200 degrees. After 15-20 minutes, cover with foil and bake the potatoes in the oven for another 35-40 minutes. The foil can be removed at the end of baking so that the "rose petals" are browned.
10. The finished dish can be garnished with pomegranate seeds and served on lettuce leaves.
11. Bon appetit!
