Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 500g ground beef
Vegetables:
- 3 large potatoes (about 900g)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 3 green peppers, diced
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
Cheese and Seasonings:
- 300g cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) vegetable oil
- 4g salt
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon (5g) tomato paste
- Paprika
- Black pepper
- Cumin
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for potato preparation.
- Meticulously slice potatoes into delicate, uniform rounds. Coat with vegetable oil and a sprinkle of salt, ensuring even coverage.
- Arrange potato slices on the prepared baking sheet, creating a single layer. Roast for 30 minutes until edges turn crispy and golden.
- In a skillet, heat oil and sauté diced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic until they become translucent and fragrant.
- Introduce ground beef to the skillet, breaking it into small crumbles. Cook until the meat browns completely and loses its raw appearance.
- Incorporate tomato sauce, tomato paste, and selected seasonings into the beef mixture. Simmer for 5 minutes to meld flavors and reduce liquid.
- Create a potato canvas by carefully overlapping roasted potato slices on parchment paper, forming a rectangular base.
- Distribute the seasoned beef filling evenly across the potato surface, maintaining a small border around the edges.
- Generously sprinkle shredded cheese over the beef, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Utilize the parchment paper to assist in rolling the potato layer over the filling, creating a compact roll.
- Return the roll to the oven, baking at 200°C for an additional 10 minutes to melt cheese and crisp the exterior.
- Remove from oven, let rest briefly, then slice and serve warm. Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
Notes
- Potato Precision: Choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the best texture and easier rolling.
- Cheese Selection: Use melting cheeses such as mozzarella or cheddar to ensure a gooey, satisfying filling.
- Low-Carb Adaptation: Replace potato slices with thin zucchini or eggplant strips for a lower-carbohydrate version.
- Meal Prep Magic: Prepare the roll-up in advance and refrigerate, then bake just before serving to save time during busy weeknights.
