Ingredients:

• 3 potatoes (700 grams/24.7 oz), peeled and thinly sliced
• 700 grams (24.7 oz) cabbage, finely chopped
• 200 grams (7 oz) cheese, grated
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 carrot, grated
• A bunch of spring onions, chopped
• 100 grams (3.5 oz) bacon (optional), chopped
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Sunflower oil, for frying

Preparation:

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a large skillet, heat a little sunflower oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and grated carrot, and sauté until softened.
   • If using bacon, add it to the skillet and cook until crispy.
   • Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
   • Stir in the chopped spring onions and grated cheese into the cabbage mixture. Set aside.
2. Assemble the Potato Rolls:
   • Lay out the potato slices on a clean surface. You may slightly overlap them to form a base for the rolls.

   • Carefully roll up the potatoes around the filling, securing with a toothpick if necessary.
3. Cook the Potato Rolls:
   • Heat sunflower oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
   • Place the potato rolls seam-side down in the pan. Cook until the potatoes are golden brown on all sides and cooked through, turning carefully to ensure even cooking.
