Baked potato roll-ups are the perfect solution for anyone seeking a hearty, savory treat that can be served as an appetizer or a quick lunch option. These roll-ups, with their crispy potato crust and gooey cheese filling, offer a delightful twist on traditional potato dishes that will leave your taste buds dancing.
Ingredients
Scale:
4 medium-sized baked potatoes (about 2 to 2.5 pounds)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for brushing)
8 slices of your favorite deli meat (ham, turkey, or chicken)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (optional, such as parsley or chives)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
If you don’t have leftover baked potatoes, bake the potatoes until fork-tender, which typically takes about 45-60 minutes. Allow them to cool slightly, then peel them.
In a large bowl, mash the baked potatoes until smooth. Add the shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Spread a layer of the potato mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to create an even layer about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the potato layer in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the top is firm to the touch.
Remove the potato crust from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut the crust into rectangles. Place a slice of deli meat on each rectangle, and sprinkle fresh herbs if desired.
Starting from one end, roll each rectangle tightly into a roll-up. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil if desired.
Bake again for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the roll-ups are heated through and golden brown.
Allow the roll-ups to cool slightly before serving.
