This rosemary potato strudel recipe is a great potato recipe for any holiday. Thin sliced potatoes coated with sour cream and seasoned with rosemary, chives and garlic are nestled and baked steamy in a golden puff pastry. Rosemary Potato Strudel is clever show stopper side dish … and popular.
I’m usually not one of those bloggers who is organized enough to cook, create and blog about a holiday recipe in time to capture the Google traffic looking for ideas. But last weekend found us snowed in with a foot of snow swirling about and I was able to make this potato strudel recipe that I’ve had my eye on for sometime.
An absolutely the best holiday potato recipe I’ve found. Perfect dish for our upcoming Easter meal and for once I’m not blogging in arrears.
You’ll find a video on how to build this potato strudel below.
Building that Potato Strudel
I was a little apprehensive, after all there is dough involved and you know my doughaphobia, but I’ve used frozen puff pastry before and so I decided to charge right in with ears tucked back.
And as far as I’m concerned, there’s never enough potato recipes to experiment with, and this one turned out delicious.
Just thaw a box of puff pastry sheets. Lay them out end to end and press them together with damp fingers to seal the seams. Using your mandolin, slice the potatoes and in a large bowl mix them with the sour cream and seasonings.
Starting at one end of the dough, pile up the potatoes and then take the close end of the dough and drape over the potatoes just to cover them. About half of the remaining dough is left exposed. With scissors cut the exposed dough into strips at an angle.
Wrap the strips over the packet of potatoes, seal all edges and then coat with a milk and egg mixture for a nice golden crust.
Pop it into the oven for this bundle of potato joy.
With a serrated knife, slice and serve.

March 26, 2013 at 5:52 pmI love rosemary with potatoes and this side dish looks wonderful! I think it could even be a main dish with leftovers too– maybe layered with ham and peas or something? Have a Happy Easter!

Chris says
March 29, 2013 at 2:53 pmI am a huge huge fan of potatoes au gratin so I am dying to try this but change the ingredients in the pastry to be a slightly drier version of my favorite au gratin or a southwestern version.
Lea Ann says
March 30, 2013 at 9:29 amMy next experiment with this will be Southwestern.
Lea Ann says
March 30, 2013 at 9:29 amThanks Ansh. Happy Easter to you and your family.
Jen says
March 30, 2013 at 3:44 pmThis sounds delicious, would never have thought to prepare potatoes like that. I’m sure it tastes delicious cold too and would be perfect for a buffet.

Barbara says
April 2, 2013 at 5:16 amWinner of a recipe, Lea Ann! Frozen puff pastry makes life so much simpler, doesn’t it? Love the idea of the sour cream/potato stuffing in your strudel.
Lea Ann says
April 4, 2013 at 6:37 amYes it does Barbara. And I’m already thinking about flavor variations for that potato strudel.
Cathy at Wives with Knives says
April 10, 2013 at 6:46 amOMG, this looks so good. How would we ever get along without commercial puff pastry? This would be fantastic with summer grilled meats and poultry.
Lea Ann says
April 10, 2013 at 7:05 amThank you Cathy. It was really a good recipe.
