Ingredients
2 lb. potatoes
9 oz. minced meat
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 medium carrot
½ cup white wine
½ onion
½ celery stalk
2 Tbsp. breadcrumbs
1 Tbsp. grated cheese
extra-virgin olive oil
salt
pepper
Method
Start by cleaning and chopping the celery, carrot and onion. Fry them in a pan with a drizzle of oil and then add the minced meat. Adjust the salt and then add the white wine. Cook over medium heat until the meat is dry. Then transfer the cooked meat to a bowl with an egg, breadcrumbs and grated cheese. Mix well to create a sort of dough.
Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in salted water. Once cooked through, mash the potatoes using a potato masher. Place the mashed potatoes in a bowl with the other egg and flour. Season with salt and pepper and mix until combined.
Roll out a sheet of baking parchment and brush it lightly with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Place the potato mixture on top, spreading it out into a rectangle shape. In the center, place the meat using a spoon. Then roll the potato-meat rectangle onto itself in a spiral using the baking parchment.
Transfer the roll to a plum cake mold, without removing it from the baking parchment.
Preheat the oven to 355°F (180°C) and then bake the roll for about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve in slices.
