Step 1: Prepare the Minced Meat Filling 🍳
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced meat and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spoon.
Stir in the onion , garlic , and yellow pepper . Cook for 5 minutes, until softened.
Add the tomato paste , thyme , paprika , and salt to taste. Mix well and cook for 2–3 minutes.
Stir in the parsley and remove from heat. Let the filling cool slightly.
Step 2: Make the Potato Dough 🥔
Boil the potatoes until tender. Mash them thoroughly while still warm.
Allow the mashed potatoes to cool slightly, then mix in the egg and a pinch of salt .
Gradually add flour , mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead lightly on a floured surface until smooth.
Step 3: Assemble the Rolls 🥟
Divide the potato dough into equal portions (about golf ball-sized). Flatten each portion into a circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
Place a spoonful of the minced meat filling in the center of each dough circle. Top with a sprinkle of mozzarella .
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching them together to seal completely. Shape into round rolls.
Place the rolls seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 4: Add the Topping 🧀
Brush the tops of the rolls lightly with water or beaten egg for a sticky surface.
Sprinkle generously with Parmesan and mozzarella to create a cheesy crust.
Step 5: Bake 🔥
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) .
Bake the rolls for 25–30 minutes , or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly crispy.
Step 6: Serve 🍴
Let the rolls cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy these savory rolls warm as a main dish, appetizer, or snack. Pair with a side salad or dipping sauce like sour cream or marinara for extra flavor.
