👩🍳 Instructions
Cook the Potatoes
Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender. Drain well and mash until smooth.
Make the Potato Dough
Mix mashed potatoes with butter, cheese, egg, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Let cool slightly.
Prepare the Beef Filling
Heat olive oil in a skillet. Sauté onion until soft, add garlic, then beef. Cook until browned. Stir in spices, salt, and pepper. Let cool.
Assemble the Roll
Spread potato mixture evenly on parchment paper into a rectangle (about ½-inch thick). Spread beef filling evenly over the top.
Roll & Slice
Carefully roll into a tight log using the parchment. Chill for 15–20 minutes (important!). Slice into 1½-inch rounds.
Bake
Arrange slices in a greased baking dish. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes, until golden and lightly crisp.
Finish & Serve
Garnish with herbs and optional extra cheese. Serve hot.
