Ingredients

Scale

For the Potato Layer:

  • 2 lbs (900g) potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ½ cup milk (or cream for extra richness)
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the Beef Filling:

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped (optional)

For Garnish and Serving:

  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Tomato sauce, gravy, or sour cream for serving

Instructions

1. Prepare the Potato Layer

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, mozzarella cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside to cool slightly.

2. Cook the Beef Filling

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and grated carrot, cooking for another 2 minutes.
  3. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned.
  4. Season with smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and let cool.

3. Assemble the Roll

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Spread the mashed potatoes onto the parchment paper, forming an even rectangular layer about ½ inch thick.
  3. Spread the beef filling evenly over the mashed potatoes, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  4. Using the parchment paper to assist, gently roll the potato layer from one short side to the other, creating a log. Seal the ends and smooth the surface.

4. Coat the Roll

  1. Brush the roll with beaten egg to help the breadcrumbs adhere.
  2. Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the roll, pressing lightly to ensure they stick.

5. Bake the Roll

  1. Transfer the roll to the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.
  2. Let the roll rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thick rounds.

6. Serve and Garnish

  1. Garnish the slices with fresh parsley and serve hot with your choice of sauce.
