Ingredients:

For the Potato Base:

• 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and grated
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Filling:

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (optional)
• ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
• ¼ cup green onions, chopped

Preparation Time:

• Prep Time: 20 minutes
• Cooking Time: 30 minutes
• Total Time: 50 minutes

Serving Size: 4–6 portions

Instructions:

1. 1. Prepare the Potato Mixture:
      Begin by peeling and grating the potatoes. Squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes with eggs, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, flour, and seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper). Mix well until fully incorporated.
   2. Create the Potato Base:
      Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the potato mixture evenly onto the sheet, forming a thin, rectangular layer about 1 cm thick. Use a spatula to smooth out the surface.
   3. Bake the Potato Base:
      Bake the potato base in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until it becomes golden brown and crispy. Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
   4. Add the Filling:
      Once the potato base has cooled slightly, evenly sprinkle mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, and the shredded cooked chicken (if using) over the surface. Add the chopped parsley and green onions for a burst of flavor and color.
   5. Roll It Up:
      Using the parchment paper to assist, carefully roll the potato layer into a log shape. Roll it tightly but gently to avoid cracks. Place the roll seam-side down on the baking sheet.
   6. Bake the Roll: Return the rolled potato log to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese inside has melted completely. For an extra crispy finish, broil for 2–3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
2. 1. Garnish and Serve:
      Remove the roll from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with additional parsley or grated cheese if desired. Slice the roll into thick pieces and serve warm.

Tips and Variations:

• Add Protein: For a vegetarian version, skip the chicken and add sautéed mushrooms or spinach. For a meat-lover’s twist, try diced ham or crispy bacon bits.
• Cheese Options: Experiment with different cheeses like gouda, Swiss, or pepper jack for unique flavors.
• Dip It: Serve with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or sour cream for dipping.
