Bread potato rolls recipe, a quick and easy snack recipe using bread slices and a spicy potato filling. The potato filling can be customised to your taste and whatever is in your pantry. So let’s go and make some bread potato rolls, shall we?
The paneer bread rolls in this site are possibly the most popular recipe I have posted. It’s ironic and funny, I had seen a recipe in a cook book and then made those bread rolls based on my memory.
Those paneer bread rolls then went on to inspire so many food bloggers, online magazines, print magazines, and even newspapers. Although the pictures in that post are not really high quality or beautifully styled, they have been copied and used the most, with and without my permission.
Anyway, I have been making bread rolls with various fillings over the years but hardly ever when I had the time and patience to take pictures of every step of the cooking process. Finally, a few weekends ago I decided to do just that so I can share my second favourite bread rolls – bread potato rolls!
Over the years and many trials, I have perfected the potato filling to my taste and preference. I love the addition of peas, for example, and really browning the onions to an almost burnt consistency because that caramelised taste and texture really stands out as you bite into the bread rolls.

Notes:
Leavened pre-sliced soft bread works best for this recipe so it will be flexible and malleable to be filled and rolls
You can add tomatoes to the onion mixture and cook it well
Instead of green peas, you can also add corn
Some chopped cashew nuts would taste fabulous in the filling too

it’s best to use fresh bread
Tried this yesterday. I added some grated cheddar with the potato and peas filling. Yummy! Great as an evening snack, with hot tea. My husband loved it, though he is not a fan of potato fillings. Thank you.
oh nice! thanks arya 🙂
Woooow!! Love this simple and yummy recipe!! I will surely try it!
Can’t ask for more. Great snack.
This is a great idea! And it is interesting that so many people have copied your idea. !!!!! I am so happy for you.
In America we have cheese sandwiches that are often spread with butter on the outside and fried in a frying pan with no extra oil beyond the butter which helps to toast the bread and to melt the cheese. Some people are now putting mayonnaise on the outside to help toast the bread. They say it makes a better, more crispy toast. That might be something interesting to try with your interesting recipe. Also, another idea I had for you was once you have the butter on the outside of your bread rolls, put them in the oven to toast them.
Well presented…Nice recipe
