Hints & Tips

Below we added some of our communities most common hints and tips. We hope you find them useful.

Slicing potatoes
I used my potato peeler to slice the potatoes. This did very thin slices that I layered on top of each other and made the potato more flexible when rolling.
Scalloped Potato Roll is very yummy!
This is a bit fiddly to roll but use the greaseproof paper and be determined. It is SO worth it.

Two good quality baking trays of a similar style will help get the flat roll needed in this recipe.

A sharp knife will slice through the potatoes with ease, we love this one. Watch your fingers, though!

Step 7

Once the potatoes are cooked, remove the weighted baking tray. Spread the mince over the potatoes, covering the whole surface. Carefully roll the potatoes and mince up like a swiss roll, using the short side to roll. Push back any potato slices that might’ve escaped!

      I made this with reduced fat cheddar it came out so much better than with Parmesan 😊

      SharonThursday 25th August 2022

      Hi Angie, thanks for helping out and sharing your tip for using reduced-fat Cheddar in the Scalloped Potato Roll. We’re pleased to hear it worked well.

Sue MorrisMonday 20th December 2021

Can you use any cheese with this dish or will it only work with parmesan never tried and can’t get locally don’t want to travel to bigger stores at the moment. Looks yuummmy tho can’t wait to try

Reply

    SharonThursday 6th January 2022

    Hi Sue, grated Parmesan is a dry cheese and helps make the potato layer crisp and golden.If you used other cheese that melts easily, such as Cheddar for example, the potato layer may not hold together well and it would probably melt onto the baking tray. Parmesan adds good flavour to the dish, so is definitely worth trying! Hope this helps.

The scalloped potato roll looks yummy! Going to try it tomorrow night. Approximately how thick are the slices and do you rinse and/or dry the slices before baking? Many thanks in advance.

Reply

    HollyWednesday 7th April 2021

    Hey Helen, you might find a mandolin helpful for this recipe but aim for a thin slice of about 3mm thick and no need to dry or rinse the slices they should be fine, hope that helps!
