Oil for deep frying
Few Toothpicks

Method :
1. Wash the potatoes , wipe them dry.
2. Peel the skin .
3. Thinly slice the potatoes as we do for potato wafers .

4. Soak these slices in salt water for 30 - 45 mins .

5. Again wash these .
6. To make roses , start by picking up a slice and fold it in the shape of a petal .

7. Cover this petal with another .

8. Repeat this step till you get a rose of desired shape .

9. To make it firm for deep frying insert toothpicks between petals . Try to use toothpicks as less as possible , because taking them out after frying is little complicated .
10 . Deep fry the roses in medium hot oil on medium flame .

11. After frying the potato slices have turnes to wafer and have became fragile so very carefully remove the toothpick with soft hands ( else the roses will break ) and serve .




Note :
If you wish , dont remove the skin of the potato , that will give a wonderful look .
