I made a Scalloped Potato roll. It looked like a Swiss roll but this is the meat version. First I sliced the potatoes and baked them with eggs and cheese so that they would form a sheet. And then I made a separate meat filling using mushrooms, red bell pepper, green bell pepper with different kinds of spices like ginger, garlic, and red chili powders. After I cooked the meat, I placed the meat filling in the middle [of the potato sheet] and then just rolled it before I cut them into a few slices.
