Instructions
1. Prepare the Potato Dough
Mash the boiled potatoes until smooth. Allow to cool slightly, then mix in the egg, flour, salt, and pepper. Knead gently until a soft, non-sticky dough forms. Add more flour if needed, but keep the dough light and fluffy.
2. Cook the Meat Filling
Heat oil or butter in a skillet. Add chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until golden. Add the minced meat, season well, and cook until browned and fully cooked through. Stir in chopped parsley and let the mixture cool slightly.
3. Shape the Rolls
Divide the potato dough into equal portions. Flatten each into a disc on a floured surface. Place a spoonful of meat filling in the center and roll or fold it over, sealing the edges to form a log or oval shape.
4. Cook the Rolls
- For a crispy version: Dip each roll in beaten egg and breadcrumbs. Pan-fry in oil until golden brown on all sides.
- For a lighter version: Place rolls on a greased baking tray and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, turning once for even browning.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Serve hot with a side of sour cream, yogurt sauce, or a fresh salad. These rolls also pair beautifully with a spicy dipping sauce or tomato chutney.
Make It Your Own
- Add grated cheese to the potato dough or meat filling for a melty surprise.
- Swap beef for chicken, turkey, or plant-based meat alternatives for a variation.
- Add vegetables like peas, carrots, or mushrooms to the meat mixture for extra flavor and nutrition.
