For the Potato Layer:
⏺ 3 large Potatoes (about 900g)
⏺ 300g Cheddar Cheese, grated
⏺ 2 tablespoons (20ml) Vegetable Oil
⏺ 4g Salt
For the Beef Filling:
⏺ 500g Ground Beef
⏺ 2 tablespoons (20ml) Vegetable Oil
⏺ 1 Onion, finely chopped
⏺ 3 Green Peppers, diced
⏺ 1 Red Pepper, diced
⏺ 3 Garlic Cloves, minced
⏺ 2 tablespoons (25g) Tomato Sauce
⏺ 1 teaspoon (20g) Tomato Paste
⏺ Paprika, black pepper, cumin (to taste)
⏺ Chopped Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Preparation
1️⃣. Preheat and Prepare Potatoes:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds.
Toss them in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and 4g of salt, ensuring they are evenly coated.
2️⃣. Layer and Bake:
Arrange the potato slices in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until they are tender and slightly golden.
3️⃣. Prepare the Beef Filling:
While the potatoes are baking, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, green and red peppers, and minced garlic. Sauté until soft.
4️⃣. Brown the Beef:
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it apart with a spoon.
5️⃣. Simmer the Filling:
Stir in the tomato sauce, tomato paste, paprika, black pepper, cumin, and salt. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley (if using).
6️⃣. Assemble the Potato Roll:
Once the potatoes are done, let them cool slightly.
On a clean surface, lay out the potato slices overlapping each other to create a rectangular shape on a piece of parchment paper.
7️⃣. Spread the Filling and Cheese:
Spread the beef filling evenly over the potato layer, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese on top of the beef filling.
8️⃣. Roll and Bake Again:
Carefully lift the edge of the parchment paper to roll the potatoes over the filling, similar to rolling a sushi roll. Ensure the roll is tight and secure.
Place the potato roll, seam side down, back onto the baking sheet. Bake in the oven at 200°C for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9️⃣. Serve:
Let the potato roll cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
