Rolo me patates is made with ground meat in which we addd hard boiled eggs and make a roulade, like a meat loaf, and bake it in the oven. In Cyprus we enclose the roulade with caul fat, which melts as it is being baked in the oven and gives a wonderful flavour to the ground meat. If you do not want to use caul fat, you can wrap it in parchment paper.
Instead of making the classic recipe with eggs, I have added other ingredients inside such as halloumi and ham. Many times, instead of adding eggs, I have added spinach, carrots, bell peppers, etc.
The recipe is included in my cookbook Mint, Cinnamon & Blossom Water, Flavours of Cyprus, Kopiaste!

You have a great site. So in which part of Cyprus are you living in? I guess from your name that you must be Spanish, is that right?

Yes, I made a site about halloumi as it is my favorite cheese since I moved to Cyprus. I already added a link to the meatloaf recipe and I will check out the others as well.

Hi Piedro. Thanks for visiting. I saw in your site that you are dealing with halloumi. I have a lot of recipes with halloumi so if you like any of them you can place a link to my recipes if you like.

I recently had meatloaf and was thinking about doing something different. Unfortunately I didn't think about stuffing with halloumi. I can imagine that this is a very tasty variant of meatloaf and I will try it next time. Thank you for giving such an inspiration.
