Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 720 g all-purpose flour approximately 5.6 cups
  • 400 ml warm milk approximately 1.7 cups
  • 100 ml warm water approximately 0.4 cups
  • 100 ml seed oil approximately 0.4 cups
  • 10 g dry yeast approximately 1 tablespoon
  • 40 g sugar approximately 3 tablespoons
  • 8 g salt approximately 1.5 teaspoons
Filling Ingredients
  • 3 medium potatoes about 600 g, approximately 1.3 lbs
  • 1 medium onion
  • 50 ml olive oil approximately 0.2 cups
  • 15 g tomato paste approximately 1 tablespoon
  • Salt, black pepper & chili pepper to taste
  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
  • 1 medium egg yolk for brushing
  • 5 ml oil for brushing, approximately 1 teaspoon

Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the dry yeast and sugar in the warm milk and warm water. Allow this mixture to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. Add the seed oil and gradually mix in the flour and salt.
  3. Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes until smooth.
  4. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, approximately 1 hour.
Filling Preparation
  1. While the dough is rising, boil the potatoes in a pot of water until they are soft, about 15-20 minutes.
  2. Once done, drain and mash the potatoes in a bowl.
  3. In a skillet, sauté the chopped onion in olive oil over medium heat until golden brown.
  4. Add the tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  5. Combine the sautéed onion mixture with the mashed potatoes, seasoning with salt, black pepper, and chili pepper to taste.
  6. Let the filling cool.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Divide the dough into 18 equal pieces and roll each piece into a rectangle.
  3. Spread a generous amount of the potato filling onto each rectangle, then roll them up tightly from one edge to the other.
  4. Arrange the rolled dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them rest for about 15 minutes.
  5. For a beautiful finish, brush the tops of the rolls with a mixture of egg yolk and a little oil.
  6. Bake the Potato Rolls in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

Potato Rolls are versatile and can be served warm as a side dish with soups or salads, or as a delightful appetizer. They can also be paired with dips or spreads, such as butter or sour cream, for added flavor. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. You can prepare the rolls ahead of time and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Freeze the rolls after baking and cooling in an airtight container.
