What kind of potatoes should I use?
For a bacon potato roses recipe, you want potatoes that are firm and starchy enough to hold their shape while baking. The ideal types of potatoes for this recipe are:
- Yukon Gold Potatoes: These potatoes have a creamy texture and a buttery flavor. They’re slightly less starchy than russets but still hold their shape well when baked.
- Russet Potatoes: These are the most common baking potatoes, known for their high starch content. They have a fluffy texture and a mild flavor, making them great for this recipe.

How to air fryer bacon potato roses
Follow the below step-by-step instructions to cook bacon potato roses in an air fryer.
- Prepare the Potatoes
Wash the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them in half. Use a mandoline slicer or sharp knife to cut them into thin slices (about 1/16 inch).
- Season the Potatoes
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, kosher salt, and cracked pepper. Toss the potato slices in the mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Assemble the Bacon Potato Roses
Take one strip of bacon and lay it flat. Place several seasoned potato slices along the bacon strip, overlapping them slightly. Start from one end and roll the bacon with the potato slices to form a rose shape. Secure the end with a toothpick if needed.
- Roast the Bacon Potato Roses in Typhur Dome Air Fryer
Choose the Roast mode of the Typhur Dome air fryer, and then carefully place the rolls in the cooking tray. Return the tray to the Dome. Roast the Potato Rolls for 13 minutes at 345°F.
- Serve
Once the bacon potato roses are done, carefully remove them from the muffin tin or ramekins. Let them cool for a minute or two, then remove any toothpicks if used. Serve warm as a stunning appetizer or side dish.
