🥔 Hungarian-Style Potato & Cheese Roulade

Instructions

1. Prepare the Potato Base:
   • Grate potatoes and squeeze out excess water.
   • Mix with eggs, flour, cheese, paprika, salt, and pepper.
   • Spread evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (rectangular shape, about 1 cm thick).
   • Drizzle lightly with oil or melted butter.
   • Bake at 200°C / 390°F for 25–30 minutes, until golden and set.
2. Prepare the Filling:
   • Heat oil in a skillet, sauté onion, garlic, and pepper until soft.
   • Add ham/sausage/meat and cook for a few minutes.
   • Stir in spinach until just wilted, season well.
3. Assemble & Roll:
   • Remove baked potato base from oven and let cool slightly (so it doesn’t tear).
   • Spread filling evenly, sprinkle with cheese.
   • Using the parchment paper to help, gently roll it up into a tight roulade.
4. Top & Bake Again:
   • Sprinkle the top with more cheese and chopped herbs.
   • Return to the oven for 10–15 minutes until the cheese on top is melted and slightly browned.
5. Serve:
   • Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
   • Perfect as a main dish with a side salad or as a party appetizer.

Would you like me to give you a vegetarian version (with mushrooms, spinach, and feta) — or keep it classic with smoked sausage and paprika for a real Hungarian flavor?
