Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for potato and meat rolls:

Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 1 lb (450 g) ground meat (beef, pork, or chicken)
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)

For the Roll:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

1. Cook the Potatoes: Boil the diced potatoes in salted water until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and mash them.
2. Sauté the Onions and Garlic: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Cook the Meat: Add the ground meat to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
4. Combine: In a bowl, mix the cooked meat, sautéed onions, garlic, mashed potatoes, and parsley. Let it cool slightly.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Step 3: Assemble the Rolls

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Add Filling: Spread the potato and meat filling evenly over the dough.
4. Roll Up: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough up to form a log. Pinch the edges to seal.
5. Cut into Rolls: Slice the log into 1-inch pieces and place them on a greased baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake

1. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
2. Serve: Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
