How to make Mashed Potato Roll with Spinach and Cheese
- Step 1
Place the washed spinach leaves in a saucepan with a teaspoon of coarse salt and no added water.
- Step 2
Cover the saucepan and cook over low heat for about 5 to 7 minutes, until the spinach is tender. Remove, drain any liquid released by the spinach, and set aside.
- Step 3
Prepare a thick mashed potato without adding milk, seasoning it with salt and pepper.
- Step 4
Spread the mashed potatoes into a rectangle on a sheet of plastic wrap.
- Step 5
Lay the spinach leaves and mozzarella slices over the mashed potatoes. Roll it up, using the plastic wrap to help shape it.
- Step 6
Place the mashed potato and spinach roll on a baking tray lightly greased with a bit of oil. Brush the surface of the roll with melted butter.
- Step 7
Bake the roll in a preheated oven at 200°C (390°F) for about 5 minutes, just long enough for the cheese to melt.
