Scalloped Potato Beef Roll: Cheesy & Easy

Cheesy Scalloped Potato Roll: The Ultimate Comfort Food!!

This Cheesy Scalloped Potato Roll is pure comfort on a plate.
On the outside, crispy, golden-brown edges and a cheesy potato crust add the perfect bit of crunch. Inside, a hearty filling of seasoned ground beef and tender tomato flavors is gently spiced, rich, and melts together in every bite.

For an extra indulgent twist, I like to drizzle it with warm cheddar cheese sauce—it truly takes this dish to another level.

Warm, satisfying, and made to be shared—this is comfort food at its best.

What you need:

FOR THE POTATO LAYER:
2 medium potatoes, peeled and very thinly sliced ​​(about 1/8 inch thick)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or pizza cheese, divided
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt

FOR THE GROUND BEEF FILLING:
14 ounces ground beef
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or pizza cheese, divided
1 onion
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon salt, cumin powder, paprika
3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

How to make:

1. Wash and peel the potatoes to very thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch thick).
2. Prepare the potato base: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese evenly over the parchment. Arrange the potato slices in overlapping rows (like fish scales) to completely cover the pan.
3. Season and par-bake potatoes: Lightly brush the potatoes with olive oil, then season with salt.
   Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender and flexible. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
4. Cook the filling: While the potatoes bake, heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, allowing for a nice beef flavor. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add salt, cumin powder, paprika, and tomato paste. Stir fry for 1~2 minutes, remove from heat.

5. Assemble the roll: Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese evenly over the potatoes, then spread the beef mixture on top. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella over the beef.
6. Roll the potatoes: Starting from the short end, carefully use the parchment paper to roll the potatoes into a tight log.
7. Final bake: Place the potato roll seam-side down on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Bake for 6-8 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Serve: Let the roll cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and garnish with fresh parsley, and drizzle it with warm cheddar cheese sauce, if desired.
