Description

These Potato Rolls with Cabbage and Cheese Filling are soft, savory buns made with a comforting mashed potato dough filled with a flavorful mixture of sautéed cabbage, onions, and melty cheese. Perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish, they are hearty, easy to prepare, and great for make-ahead meals or freezing.

Ingredients

Dough

  • 2 cups mashed potatoes (plain, unsalted)
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg, beaten (plus more for brushing)

Filling

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups finely shredded cabbage
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Activate yeast: In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm milk. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
  2. Make dough: In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, salt, vegetable oil, and beaten egg. Add the yeast mixture and knead everything together until a soft dough forms. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
  3. Prepare filling: While the dough rises, melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add the shredded cabbage, salt, and pepper, cooking for 10–12 minutes until the cabbage softens. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, then stir in the shredded cheese.
  4. Shape rolls: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 equal portions. Flatten each piece into a disk, place a spoonful of the cabbage and cheese filling in the center, then carefully seal the dough around the filling to form a smooth ball.
  5. Bake rolls: Place the rolls seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until the rolls turn golden brown.
  6. Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving warm. They can be enjoyed as a snack or alongside your favorite dishes.

Notes

  • You can use leftover mashed potatoes for the dough to save time.
  • Feel free to substitute the cheese with varieties like gouda or fontina for different flavors.
  • These rolls freeze well; reheat them in the oven to regain their fresh-baked texture.
