Ah! You’re describing a baked potato and ground beef roll—basically a savory roll where seasoned ground beef is wrapped in a potato base, then baked. Here’s a simple and tasty recipe:
Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
For the potato base:
- 3–4 large potatoes, peeled and boiled
- 2 tbsp butter
- ¼ cup milk (adjust for desired creaminess)
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the ground beef filling:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp tomato paste or ketchup
- Optional: chopped parsley
Other:
- 1 egg (for brushing on top)
- Grated cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven:
- 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the potato base:
- Mash boiled potatoes with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Let cool slightly so it’s easier to handle.
- Cook the beef filling:
- In a skillet, cook ground beef with onions and garlic until browned.
- Stir in paprika, salt, pepper, and tomato paste. Cook 2–3 more minutes.
- Remove from heat and mix in parsley if using.
- Assemble the rolls:
- On a flat surface, spread mashed potatoes into a rectangle (about ½ inch thick).
- Spread the cooked ground beef evenly over the potatoes.
- Carefully roll the potato layer over the filling like a jelly roll, sealing the edges.
- Bake:
- Place the roll seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle cheese if desired.
- Bake 25–30 minutes until the top is golden.
- Serve:
- Slice into portions and serve warm with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
This dish is hearty, savory, and perfect for dinner.
If you want, I can also give a quick version using pre-made mashed potatoes so you can make these rolls in under 30 minutes. Do you want that version?
