Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Meat

Begin by gently pounding the pork neck until it is thin. Season the meat generously with salt and pepper to enhance its flavor.

Next, prepare the filling by mixing cream cheese with grated pickles. Spread this mixture over the flattened meat, then roll the meat tightly into a log shape.

Step 2

Coat the Meat Rolls

In a bowl, beat the eggs and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Dip each roll into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are well-coated.

Then, roll the meat in breadcrumbs until completely covered.

Step 3

Cook the Meat Rolls

Heat a skillet over low heat and add a drizzle of oil. Carefully place the rolls in the skillet and brown them on all sides.

Once browned, transfer the rolls to a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 15 minutes.

Step 4

Prepare the Potatoes

While the meat rolls are baking, peel and cut the potatoes into cubes. Boil the potatoes for about 7 minutes after the water reaches a rolling boil.

Drain the water and mix the potatoes with your favorite spices, butter, garlic, and salt. Bake the potatoes at maximum temperature for about 30 minutes until they are golden and crispy.

Step 5

Make the Green Sauce

For the green sauce, combine cilantro, sour cream, salt, and garlic in a blender. Blend until smooth to create a delicious dipping sauce for your baked potatoes.

Step 6

Serve and Enjoy

Once everything is cooked, plate your meat rolls alongside the crispy baked potatoes. This hearty dish is perfect for sharing at your next gathering!

Servings

When it comes to serving your delicious meat rolls and potatoes, presentation matters! Arrange the golden-baked potatoes on a platter and drizzle them with your homemade green sauce for an eye-catching look. 🌟

For an added touch, consider garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley or additional cilantro. This not only looks great but also enhances the flavor profile! 🍃

Pair these rolls with a crisp side salad or some pickled vegetables for a refreshing contrast. Not only will your meal be balanced, but your guests will be impressed with the thoughtfulness. 🥗

Faq

  • What's the difference between using fresh herbs and dried herbs in the green sauce?

    Fresh herbs offer a brighter flavor profile, while dried herbs provide a more concentrated taste. If you're using dried herbs, make sure to adjust the amount, as they are more potent.

  • How can I tell when the meat is fully cooked?

    The best way to check is to use a meat thermometer. Pork should reach an internal temperature of 145°F (about 63°C) to be safe to eat.

  • Can I prepare the meat rolls in advance?

    Absolutely! You can assemble the rolls a day ahead and refrigerate them. Just bake them when you’re ready to serve for a hot, fresh meal!

  • What's the best way to store leftovers?

    Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. They should be good for up to three days. Reheat gently in the oven to maintain texture.

  • What spice combinations work best for the potatoes?

    Try rosemary and garlic for a classic flavor, or go with smoked paprika and cayenne for a touch of heat!

  • How do I know if the potatoes are done?

    Potatoes are done when they are golden and crispy on the outside, and a fork can easily pierce through them. A little test will show if they're fluffy inside!
