Preparation

How to prepare Roasted Potato Towers

To prepare the roasted potato towers, carefully wash and peel the potatoes 1, then slice them rather thinly (about 1/8 inch) using a mandoline 2 (if you don't have one, you can use a knife). Be sure to keep the potatoes straight while slicing, to get slices that are as round and regular as possible. Finely chop the rosemary with a mixer 3 and start assembling the towers:

place salt 4, pepper 5, and a pinch of chopped rosemary 6 on the first potato slice,

overlay a second slice 7 and season again with salt, pepper, and rosemary: continue this way until you form "towers" about 1.5 inches high. Once you have assembled them all, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and drizzle a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over the surface of each tower 8. Bake everything at the highest power of your oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden (be careful not to burn the potatoes too much) 9. The roasted potato towers are ready: serve them hot.

Storage

We recommend consuming the potato towers as soon as they are ready, but if you wish, you can store them in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, for up to a couple of days (knowing that they will lose their crispiness).

Tip

If you prefer a more "rustic" dish, you can use the potatoes without peeling them.
