Ingredients

  • 5 slices of light Galbanino cheese (100 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup of milk
  • About 30 grams of breadcrumbs

Directions

First, we need to prepare the potatoes. Peel and boil them until tender, then cut them into small cubes. Once they are ready, place them in a bowl and mash them well with a fork. This will allow us to achieve a soft and creamy consistency.

Next, it’s time to season the mashed potatoes. Add salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese to the mixture. Mix all the ingredients well, then incorporate the milk, blending everything until you obtain a soft and homogeneous puree.

Now, take a baking tray and line it with parchment paper. Grease the paper with a little olive oil to prevent the roll from sticking during baking. Spread the potato mixture evenly on the tray, leveling it out to form a rectangular shape.

Sprinkle the surface of the mixture with a handful of breadcrumbs and a dash of paprika. This will give the roll a crunchy touch and a slightly spicy flavor.

For the filling, use slices of Galbanino cheese and grilled zucchini slices. This combination of melty cheese and flavorful zucchini will make your roll even more delicious. Distribute the Galbanino slices and zucchini over the surface of the potato mixture, then roll everything up, using the parchment paper to assist you.

To finish the preparation, sprinkle the top of the roll with more breadcrumbs and drizzle it with a bit of extra virgin olive oil. This will give the roll a golden and crispy appearance once baked.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (about 350°F) and bake the roll for about 15 minutes. This cooking time is sufficient for melting the cheese and browning the surface of the roll.

Once baked, remove the roll from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing it. This allows you to achieve well-defined slices that are easy to serve.

Voilà! Your potato and zucchini roll is ready to be enjoyed! For a visual guide, feel free to check out the video recipe here!
