Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Baked Potatoes

Start by boiling the baby potatoes until they are almost tender but not falling apart. Drain and let them cool slightly.

Next, place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and gently press each one down with a glass.

Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and spices of your choice. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Once they are golden, place a piece of Camembert on top of each potato and return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese starts to melt.

Finally, transfer the baked potatoes to a serving dish, add a dollop of cranberry jam, and garnish with rosemary for a touch of elegance.

Step 2

Assemble the Mozzarella Roll-Ups

Take a slice of cured ham and lay it flat on a clean surface. On top of the ham, place a small handful of arugula and a mini mozzarella ball that has been rolled in sesame seeds.

Carefully roll the ham around the filling to create a neat cylinder. Repeat this process for the remaining slices.

Arrange the rolled-up snacks on a serving platter, and finish by drizzling with balsamic sauce and sprinkling some nuts on top for added texture and flavor.

Servings

Ready to serve? These appetizers are not just eye-catching; they are perfect for sharing! Arrange the baked potatoes on a beautiful platter, drizzle with cranberry jam, and sprinkle fresh rosemary for that festive touch. 🥔✨

For the mozzarella rolls, consider placing them upright in a glass or jar for a unique presentation. Balsamic sauce drizzled over the top adds a gourmet finish, while the nuts provide a satisfying crunch. Don't forget to add some colorful cherry tomatoes or greens on the side! 🍅

Equipment

Variations

If you want to cater to different dietary preferences, here are some easy variations: For a gluten-free option: ensure the ham or other ingredients are labeled gluten-free, or substitute the ham with roasted vegetables wrapped in the mozzarella. 🌱 For a vegan twist: replace the camembert with a plant-based cheese alternative and skip the ham for a delightful veggie roll filled with arugula and avocado. Both not only taste amazing but also cater to varied diets! 🌿

Faq

  • How do I know when the baby potatoes are done cooking?

    They should be tender enough to pierce with a fork but still hold their shape. Boil for about 10-15 minutes.

  • Can I make these appetizers ahead of time?

    Yes! You can prepare the ingredients ahead, but bake them just before serving for best results.

  • What's the best way to cut the mozzarella without it sticking?

    Use a sharp, wet knife to slice through the mozzarella cleanly, reducing stickiness.

  • How can I add more flavor to the potatoes?

    Try seasoning with garlic powder or herbs like thyme or oregano for added depth before baking!

  • What's the ideal temperature for baking these appetizers?

    180°C (356°F) is perfect for achieving crispy potatoes and melted cheese without burning.

  • Can I use other types of cheese for the rolls?

    Absolutely! Cream cheese or vegan cheese will work wonderfully and add unique flavors to your rolls.
