Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and sliced very thin
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, plus more for garnish
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the potato slices in overlapping rows to form a rectangle. Brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a little black pepper. Sprinkle 1 cup mozzarella and the Parmesan over the potatoes.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and lightly golden.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Stir in the tomato paste, tomato sauce, parsley, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, paprika, cumin, and the rest of the black pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until thick and fragrant.
- Let the baked potato layer cool for 5 minutes. Spread the meat filling evenly over it and top with the remaining 1 cup mozzarella.
- Using the parchment to help, roll the potato layer up tightly from the short side into a log.
- Return the roll to the oven and bake for 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the outside is more golden.
- Rest for 5 to 10 minutes, slice, garnish with extra parsley, and serve warm.
Notes
- Slice the potatoes as thinly and evenly as possible for easier rolling.
- Cook the filling until thick so the roll does not turn soggy.
- Let the roll rest before slicing for cleaner pieces.
- Serve with plain yogurt or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
