Peel and grate the potatoes using the thick side of a grater.
Squeeze out the excess water from the grated potatoes to prevent sogginess.
Transfer the potatoes to a mixing bowl.
Add grated cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, eggs, salt, and black pepper.
Mix everything until well combined.
Bake the Potato Base:
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. This step is essential for rolling the potatoes neatly later.
Spread the potato mixture evenly onto the parchment paper, shaping it into a rectangle about 1 cm thick.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) until the top begins to brown (about 20 minutes).
Prepare the Minced Meat Filling:
Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the minced meat and sauté until browned.
Stir in the chopped onion, green pepper, and red peppers. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
Add tomato paste, stir well, then pour in hot water and mix.
Season with salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper.
Let it simmer until the liquid is absorbed, and the filling is fully cooked.
Assemble the Rolled Potatoes:
Once the potato base is browned, remove it from the oven.
Evenly spread the cooked minced meat filling over the baked potatoes.
Using the parchment paper, carefully roll the potato mixture into a log.
Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese generously over the top.
Bake Again:
Return the stuffed rolled potatoes to the oven at 180°C (350°F).
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese melts and turns golden brown.
Serve and Enjoy:
Transfer the rolled potatoes to a serving platter.
Slice into thick rounds and serve hot.
Enjoy this cheesy, savory, and comforting dish!
