Ingredients :
- 1 package of rectangular puff pastry
- 4-5 potatoes (approximately 450-500 grams or 1 pound)
- 1 egg
- A handful of grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 150 grams (5.3 oz) of melting cheese (I used mild Provolone)
- 150 grams (5.3 oz) of sliced cooked ham
- 1 egg for brushing
How to make Potato Pastry Roll:
- For the Puff Pastry Roll with Ham and Cheese Potatoes, wash the potatoes and place them in a saucepan, cover with cold or warm water and bring to the stove. Add some coarse salt and boil the potatoes for 20-30 minutes (depends on size). Before removing them, test them with a fork; if it easily enters the flesh, they are ready. Drain them and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the cheese into small cubes.
- Peel the potatoes and mash them with a potato masher, dropping them into a bowl. Add the egg, salt, pepper and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir.
- Open the puff pastry packet and with the help of the rolling pin spread it out and stretch it by a couple of inches. Cover it with the potato mixture, then sprinkle the cubes of string cheese, and finally cover with the slices of cooked ham.
- Start rolling from the longest part of the rectangle and form a roll. Close the two ends and transfer the roll to a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make cuts with a sharp knife and brush the roll with beaten egg.
- Turn on the oven to 180°C (350°F) (static) and when it reaches temperature, bake for about 30-35 minutes (check for doneness).
Bon Appetit!
