Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Spread the shredded Parmesan cheese in an even layer on the parchment paper.
3
Layer the thinly sliced potatoes over the Parmesan, overlapping them slightly to cover the cheese completely.
4
Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
5
Bake for 20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden and crispy.
6
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Layer the ham slices over the potatoes.
7
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the ham.
8
Carefully and tightly roll up the potato sheet into a log, using the parchment paper to help guide you.
9
Place the roll seam-side down and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese inside is fully melted.
10
Let it cool slightly, garnish with fresh parsley, then slice and serve immediately.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Soak thinly sliced potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes before assembly to remove starch and prevent oxidation; pat dry thoroughly so cheese adheres.
Layer potatoes slightly overlapping in a baking dish before rolling to ensure even cooking and prevent the base from staying raw.
Pack the ham and mozzarella filling firmly so the roll holds its shape during baking; don't overfill or it will seep out.
Bake at 375°F until the potato exterior is golden and crispy (25–35 minutes); cover with foil if browning too quickly.

Substitutions

Yukon Gold potatoes → russet potatoes (note: will be slightly starchier; soak longer)
Deli ham → prosciutto or smoked turkey (note: adjusts saltiness and richness)
Mozzarella → sharp cheddar or Gruyère (note: creates a different flavor profile)
Fresh parsley → fresh chives or thyme (note: alters garnish flavor slightly)

Storage & make-ahead

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat at 350°F for 10–15 minutes until warmed through, or enjoy cold.

Common Questions

Can I prepare the potato roll ahead of time?

Yes, assemble the roll-up up to 4 hours ahead, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Bake just before serving, adding 5–10 minutes to the bake time if starting from cold.

What's the best way to slice potatoes thinly for this recipe?

Use a mandoline slicer or the thin-slice blade on a food processor to get consistent 1/8-inch slices. Soak slices in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch and prevent browning.

How do I know when the potato roll is done baking?

The potato exterior should be golden brown and crispy, and a fork should easily pierce the potatoes. Internal temperature should reach 160°F if using raw ham, or 140°F if using pre-cooked deli ham.
