Hamburg Roll Potato - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb. ground beef
2 c. mashed potatoes
1 medium onion, chopped
1 small clove garlic, crushed
1 Tbsp. drippings
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 slices bread, crusts removed
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 Tbsp. dry bread crumbs
1 Tbsp. minced parsley
3 strips bacon (optional)

Preparation

Saute the onion and garlic lightly in hot drippings.
Remove from heat and mix in the beef and egg.
Soften the bread in water to which salt, oregano and pepper have been added.
Mix well. Spread on a piece of waxed paper and sprinkle with the crumbs. Turn the beef mixture out on the crumbs and pat into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick.
Beat the mashed potatoes with the parsley and spread over the meat.
Roll up the meat by lifting the wax paper along the long side of rectangle as you would a jelly roll. Lift the roll carefully into a shallow casserole dish, greased if meat is dry.
Place bacon strips on top.
Bake 1 hour in 350\u00b0 oven. Serve with mushroom soup or tomato sauce.
