Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking tray with butter. Line it with parchment paper and brush with more butter. Sprinkle with some grated processed cheese.
  • Arrange the thinly sliced potatoes on the prepared tray, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with more cheese. Bake for 15 minutes to partially cook the potatoes.

  • While the potatoes are par-baking, prepare the filling. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. This softens the onion and develops its sweetness.

  • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can become bitter.
  • Add the soaked soya granules, mashed potato, chopped spinach, and finely chopped red bell pepper to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
  • Stir in the fresh basil, Italian seasoning, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • Keep potato slices thin to ease folding of the roll.
  • Keep the filling at least 1 cm less than the actual potato sheet so that the filling does not ooze out.
  • For extra crispiness, brush the potato rolls lightly with olive oil or melted butter and bake at a high temperature (220°C/425°F) for the last 5 minutes after pan-cooking or baking.
  • If you want a smoky or earthy flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the potato mixture before rolling.
  • To make the rolls ahead, assemble and shape them, then freeze on a baking tray until solid before transferring to a freezer bag; bake from frozen, adding 5-7 extra minutes to the cooking time.
  • For a vegan version, substitute processed cheese and butter with plant-based alternatives, and ensure your soya granules are well-seasoned.

Expert Tips

  • For a richer flavor, consider using a combination of cheeses in the filling, such as mozzarella and cheddar.
  • Serve these potato rolls with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, like marinara, sour cream, or a spicy chutney.
  • Experiment with different fillings! Try seasoned ground meat, sauteed vegetables, or even a sweet filling like spiced apples or cinnamon-sugar.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover potato rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
