Golden Potato Puff Rolls
Looking for the ultimate easy vegetarian appetizer? Try these easy Golden Potato Puff Rolls.
Wrapped in buttery, store-bought frozen puff pastry, the filling is a comforting blend of creamy mashed potatoes, sautéed onions, and a kick of chili flakes.
These crispy potato cigars are simple to assemble and impossible to eat just one of. They are perfect as as savory party snack, or a side for soup. Best of all? They taste just as delicious warm as they do at room temperature.
Ingredients:
500 g frozen puff pastry, thawed overnight in the refrigerator
For Filling:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small–medium onion, finely chopped
450 g potatoes (3 small–medium potatoes)
Salt, black pepper, paprika, red chili flakes to taste
For Wash and Topping:
1 beaten egg
Sesame seeds
Method:
1. Prepare the Filling:
Boil the potatoes with skin until tender, then drain well, peel, and mash them using a potato masher #Ad. (💡 They will be easier to mash while still hot.)
Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onions for about 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, sautéed onions (with their oil), and spices. Mix well and let the filling cool to room temperature.
2. Preheat:
Preheat your oven to 180 °C (or 160 °C fan), and line one or two baking sheets with parchment paper.
3. Assemble:
Unroll the cold puff pastry. Slice it into rectangles, approximately 6 x 8 cm.
Place 1 tsp of the cooled filling along the short edge of a rectangle. Roll it up into a cylinder. (No need to roll tightly or to seal the ends; the filling should peek out slightly during baking.
4. Bake:
Arrange the rolls seam-side down on the baking sheets. Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake for 20–30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
Serve warm.
Notes 📌
Do not purée the boiled potatoes in a blender to avoid gumminess.
It is important to let the filling cool completely to room temperature before using it. Warm filling will melt the pastry!
Keep the pastry cold. If it gets sticky while you are handling it, pop it back in the fridge for 10 minutes.
Tips 💡
Storage Instructions: Best served fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for 2 days and reheated in the oven (not microwave) to re-crisp.
Make-Ahead: You can assemble the rolls and freeze them before baking.
