How to Make Potato Rolls with Chicken Step by Step

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Filling

In a skillet over medium heat, sauté onion in a little oil until soft. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Stir in chicken, seasoning, and mayonnaise or sour cream. Remove from heat and stir in cheese. Set aside to cool.

Step 2: Make the Potato Dough

In a large bowl, mix mashed potatoes, egg, melted butter, salt, and pepper. Gradually add flour until a soft, non-sticky dough forms.

Step 3: Shape the Rolls

Divide dough into equal portions. Flatten each piece into a small circle, add a spoonful of chicken filling, then roll up and seal tightly.

Step 4: Prepare for Baking

Place rolls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with seeds or herbs if desired.

Step 5: Bake

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown.

Step 6: Cool Slightly and Serve

Let rolls cool for 5 minutes before serving.
