    NOTE: I thought assembly might be a greater challenge than stated, so when I made this recipe here is what I did:

12. 12

    I used parchment paper brushed lightly with olive oil using my pastry brush. Then I wiped it to a very thin film using paper towel, folded the parchment paper several times on the edge where I intended to begin the roll, so I would be able to firmly manage the roll. I spread the potato mixture on the paper, chilled it in my freezer for 15 minutes and rolled it up with no problem.
