Equipment

• Casserole Dish
• Parchment paper

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1.75 sticks butter softened
• 2 oz chorizo diced
• 1 tbsp thyme chopped
• 1 tbsp rosemary chopped
• salt & pepper to taste
• 1.5 lbs potatoes
• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 onion diced
• 1 tbsp parsley
• 1/3 cup bread crumbs
• 1 egg

Instructions

 

• Combine all the ingredients for the butter sheet together and flatten the mass between 2 pieces of parchment paper until it's slightly smaller than your casserole dish. Then freeze the butter sheet for about 30 minutes.
  
• Preheat the oven to 325°F. Peel all of the potatoes and cut the ends off of 9 of them. Using a peeler, cut the 9 potatoes without ends into 1½-inch thick ribbons. Boil the whole potatoes, potato ends, and the potato ribbons in salted water.
  
• Roll up the potato ribbons (secure them with toothpicks if necessary), place them in water, and set aside for later.
  
• Combine the meatball ingredients and form 25 mini meatballs from the ground beef mixture.
  
• Add the whole potatoes and potato ends to the casserole dish and mash them. Place the meatballs on top of the mashed potatoes.
  
• Take the potato ribbons out of the water and let them drain or pat them dry before placing them on top of the meatballs.
  
• Take the butter sheet out of the freezer, remove the parchment paper, and place it on top of the potato ribbons.
  
• Bake the potato casserole at 325°F for 35 minutes.
