Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grease a muffin tin or baking dish with butter.
Make the potato mixture:
Using a mandolin, slice the potatoes into very thin rounds.
In a large bowl, toss the potato slices with the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, thyme, salt and pepper until well coated.
Assemble the rosettes:
Take a handful of seasoned potato slices and arrange them in a stack.
Carefully place the stack on its side in the prepared muffin tin or close together in the baking dish, rolling them slightly to create a rosette shape.
Repeat with the remaining potato slices.
Bake the potato rosettes:
Dot the tops of the rosettes with small pieces of butter.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 30 minutes.
Remove foil and continue baking for an additional 20-30 minutes or until potatoes are tender and tops are golden and crispy.
