Ingredients:

Potato Layer:

• 3 large potatoes (approximately 900g), boiled until tender
• 300g of grated cheddar cheese
• 20ml of vegetable oil
• A pinch of salt (about 4g)

Beef Mixture:

• 500g of minced beef
• 20ml of vegetable oil for cooking
• 1 onion, finely diced
• 3 green bell peppers, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 25g of tomato sauce
• 20g of tomato paste
• A dash each of paprika, ground black pepper, and cumin

Preparation Steps:

Potato Base Preparation:

1. Mash the boiled potatoes until smooth.
2. Blend in the grated cheddar cheese, vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt until uniformly smooth.

Beef Filling Cooking:

1. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium flame.
2. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until translucent.
3. Add minced beef, crumbling it with a spatula, and fry until browned.
4. Add chopped bell peppers and let them soften slightly.
5. Fold in tomato sauce, tomato paste, paprika, black pepper, and cumin. Combine well and simmer briefly. Remove from heat to cool.

Assembling the Roll:

1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Spread the mashed potato mixture onto a sheet of cling film, forming a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Layer the beef mixture over the potato base, leaving a margin at the edges.
4. Using the cling film for support, roll the potato layer over the beef, sealing the edges. Place the roll, seam down, onto the prepared baking sheet.

Baking:

1. Lightly brush the roll with additional vegetable oil and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese melts and the surface turns golden.

Serving:

1. Allow the roll to cool slightly before cutting.
2. Serve warm, optionally with sour cream or fresh greens on the side.
