# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, eggs, 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
03 - Line a baking tray with parchment paper and sprinkle 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese evenly on the baking sheet, followed by the potato mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top is golden and the potatoes are cooked through.
04 - While the potatoes are baking, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onions are translucent.
05 - Add the ground meat to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned.
06 - Stir in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and paprika. Pour in the tomato sauce and water. Mix well. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, until the tomatoes are softened and the flavors are well combined. If the mixture becomes too dry, add a little more water as needed.
07 - Once the potato base is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
08 - Spread the minced meat filling evenly over the baked potatoes. Sprinkle remaining ½ cup of mozzarella cheese over the meat mixture. Carefully roll the potato sheet with the meat filling into a log shape, ensuring it is tight and even.
09 - Transfer the roll to the baking sheet and bake for another 15 minutes until heated through and the cheese inside melts.
10 - Let the roll cool for about 5 to 10 minutes, then slice and serve with plain yogurt if desired.

# Extra Tips and Tricks:

01 - Press the grated potatoes firmly into the pan to form a stable base that won't crumble.
02 - Sauté the beef mixture until it's rich and fragrant, adjusting seasoning to your taste.
03 - Let the roll rest a few minutes before slicing to keep its shape and ensure neat portions.
