Ingredients
For the potato roulade:
- 2 lbs Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter at room temperature
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- ½ cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
For the filling and topping:
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ½ yellow onion, small diced
- 2 tsbp minced garlic
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¾ cup tomato sauce
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoon chopped parsley or green onions
- 1 ½ cup shredded mozzarella (or 8 thin slices Mozzarella or Provolone)
- ¼ cup shaved Parmesan cheese (or 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan)
Instructions
- Wash potatoes, place them in cold water, and cook on medium-high for about 12-15 minutes or until fork-tender.
- Mash cooked potatoes well and stir in butter, Parmesan cheese, milk, seasonings, and egg yolks until uniform. Then, stir in flour and baking powder until no lumps are visible.
- Drain; remove peel while warm using a pairing knife or by rubbing peel with a clean cloth. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff; fold into the potato mixture; set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a 9 x 13-inch jelly roll pan, line with parchment paper, and then grease paper. Pour potato batter into the pan, spreading uniformly with a spatula.
- Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Meanwhile, cook ground beef. Heat oil in a no stick skillet and cook onion over medium for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Do not let brown! Add ground beef and brown over medium-high, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, stir in seasonings and ¼ cup tomato sauce, and let cook for about 4-6 minutes.
- Stir in vinegar and let cook until evaporated. Stir in chopped parsley or green onion. Set aside. Once potato roulade has finished cooking, loosen edges with a paring knife. Place a warm wet cloth on top and then the back of a larger jelly roll pan.
- Invert, remove paper, and trim off hardened short edges only. Layer on mozarella cheese and then the cooked ground beef, each in a single layer. Roll carefully while warm with the help of the wet cloth.
- Carefully transfer roulade to a serving platter. Top with ½ cup warm tomato sauce and shaved Parmesan cheese. Garnish as desired and enjoy.
Notes
- MAKE-AHEAD: Make the Potato Roulade ahead, cover well, and refrigerate for up to 3-5 days. Right before serving, reheat and only then top with tomato sauce and Parmesan cheese.
- HOW TO REHEAT: To reheat a whole potato roulade, place it onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover loosely with foil and bake in a preheated 250º F oven for about 15-25 minutes, or until warm. Serve topped with sauce and cheese. If sliced, reheat in the microwave for about 30-60 seconds, depending on the amount of slices.
