🛒 Ingredients

For the Base

  • 3 large potatoes (≈900g), very thinly sliced

  • 200g Emmental cheese, shredded

  • 200g mozzarella cheese, shredded

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (20ml)

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Filling

  • 500g ground beef

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (20ml)

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 3 tbsp ketchup (≈45g)

  • Paprika, black pepper, and salt – to taste

For Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Build the cheesy base

    • Grease or line a baking tray with parchment paper.

    • Evenly spread 150g Emmental + 150g mozzarella across the bottom. This will melt into a golden, cheesy base.

  2. Layer the potatoes

    • Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds.

    • Arrange them slightly overlapping on top of the cheese.

    • Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

  3. First bake

    • Bake uncovered at 200°C (392°F) for 30 minutes.

    • The potatoes should be tender and the cheese underneath fully melted.

  4. Cook the beef filling

    • While the potatoes bake, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

    • Sauté onion and garlic for 3–4 minutes until fragrant.

    • Add the ground beef and cook until browned.

    • Stir in ketchup, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.

  5. Fill and roll

    • Let the potato-cheese base cool for 5 minutes (this helps it stay intact).

    • Spread the beef mixture evenly over the surface.

    • Sprinkle 50g of shredded cheese on top.

    • Using parchment or a wide spatula, roll the layer into a log (like a Swiss roll), starting from the shorter side.

  6. Final bake

    • Place the roll seam-side down on the tray.

    • Sprinkle the remaining 50g shredded cheese on top.

    • Return to the oven for 10 minutes, until golden and bubbling.

  7. Garnish and serve

    • Rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

    • Garnish with parsley and enjoy warm!

📌 FAQs

Can I make this vegetarian?
Yes! Swap the beef for sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or a lentil mix.

Can I prep this ahead?
Definitely. Bake the potato layer and cook the beef filling earlier in the day. Assemble, roll, and do the final bake before serving.

What’s the best way to slice it neatly?
Use a sharp serrated knife and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before cutting.

Can I freeze it?
Yes, but for best texture, freeze after the first bake (before rolling). Then thaw, fill, roll, and finish baking.

Which cheese works best?
A combo of melty cheeses like mozzarella + Emmental (or cheddar) gives the perfect balance of flavor and stretch.
