I came down this morning to see a dumpling-making delegation in the kitchen. I’m the sort of person who won’t thrive in a working kitchen. The reason? I like my space, peace, and order whenever I cook. Since I had to prep my dish in a stressfully-messy environment, the photos are few and far between.

***Eat A Potato Mountain in One Bite***

Potato, rosemary, butter, salt, and high-quality olive oil always spell success for my tongue. The addictive rosemary potatoes that I regularly make don’t look attractive enough to belong in a SIC entry. I wanted to use similar ingredients but present them in a more refined manner. 

With that in mind, I came up with this one! =)

<h1>Component #1: ***Potato Slices***</h1>

Potato slices make up each little mountain. I used three types of potatoes in this dish — regular local yellow potatoes, orange sweet potatoes, and blue potatoes.

Now, the ideal thing to do would have been to make a trip to the grocery store to pick out uniform potatoes that could build a beautiful potato mountain easily. A look into our potato drawer revealed that we already had three types at home — albeit all oddly-shaped ones!!! I didn’t want to purchase more potatoes when we had so many, so I simply made do with slicing bits from suitable parts of the potatoes according to my needs. 

The leftover bits? I scattered around the tray and drizzled with more seasoning to make homemade oven-baked potato crisps for the rest of the family to enjoy.

<h1>Component #2: ***The Seasoning***</h1>

Each potato slice was brushed with an olive-oil and butter combination infused with fresh rosemary leaves and seasoned with salt and smoked paprika powder. 

Then the stacks were assembled and stabbed through with a metal skewer. A fresh rosemary stalks was inserted into each hole to hold the stacks together during baking. 


***Ingredients Used in The Seasoning***

Unsalted Butter
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Fresh Rosemary Leaves
Smoked Paprika Powder
Sea Salt
Fresh Rosemary Stalks, majority of leaves removed

***How to Make the The Seasoning***

Combine all ingredients except for the Rosemary Stalks. Microwave at short bursts till butter melts. Mix together. 

Brush the mixture onto all the potato slices. Assemble potato stacks, picking a large slice for the bottom and progressively picking smaller slices as you build up. The goal is to build a pyramid form with the stack.

After the stacks are assembled, stab a vertical hole into each stack using a metal skewer. Insert a Rosemary Stalk into each hole and trim the top using a pair of scissors.
