Potato and cheese phyllo rolls

They’re light, flaky, and packed with comforting potato flavor. Because they bake quickly and come out in neat handheld rolls, they work well for parties, casual gatherings, or anytime you want a warm snack that feels a little different from the usual potato appetizers.

Helpful Tips

  • Keep the phyllo covered while working. Phyllo dough dries out quickly, so cover the unused sheets with a damp towel until you’re ready to use them.
  • Don’t overfill the rolls. About two tablespoons of filling keeps the rolls easy to seal and helps them crisp evenly in the oven.
  • Brush the edges with butter. This helps the rolls stay sealed and gives the outside that golden, flaky finish.
