How to make Mashed Potato Roll with Spinach and Cheese

  1. Step 1

    Place the washed spinach leaves in a saucepan with a teaspoon of coarse salt and no added water.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Prepare a thick mashed potato without adding milk, seasoning it with salt and pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Spread the mashed potatoes into a rectangle on a sheet of plastic wrap.

  5. Step 5

    Lay the spinach leaves and mozzarella slices over the mashed potatoes. Roll it up, using the plastic wrap to help shape it.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.
