Cheesy Beef and Potato Roll

Cheesy Beef and Potato Roll

Ingredients:

For the Filling:

• 1 lb (450g) ground beef
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and grated
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

For the Dough:

• 1 package puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• Additional shredded cheese for topping

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
   • Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
   • Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
   • Stir in the grated potatoes, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
   • Once cooled, mix in the shredded cheese and chopped parsley.
2. Assemble the Roll:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
   • Roll out one sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases.
   • Spread half of the beef and potato filling evenly over the puff pastry, leaving about an inch border on all sides.
   • Roll up the pastry tightly, starting from one of the long sides, and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
   • Repeat the process with the second sheet of puff pastry and the remaining filling.
3. Bake the Roll:
   • Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg. Sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
4. Serve:
   • Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
   • Serve warm and enjoy!

Tips:

• You can customize the filling by adding other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots.
• For a spicier version, add some red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the filling.
