Being creative and having fun with brunch to me is something to be celebrated. When it comes to brunch, simply said, there are zero rules to brunch. Besides the time of day.
Potato flowers equal something special on the plate. Which is beautiful crispy potato leaves in each bite. The almighty simple potato becomes fancy and thoughtful touch to any brunch.
The usual culinary rule book gets thrown out the window. The humble potato has played so many roles around the world; from the star on the plate, to be the backup singer.
There are more than 4,500 varieties of native potatoes, found mostly in the Andes. They come in many sizes and shapes. They're interestingly between 100-180 wild potato species. Though they are too bitter to eat, their important biodiversity includes natural resistance to pests, diseases, and climatic conditions.
