Lay a large sheet of parchment paper, plastic wrap, or a clean kitchen towel on your work surface.
Spread the mashed sweet potatoes into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.
Leave a small border around the edges.
Step 5: Add the Filling
Spread the beef mixture evenly over the sweet potato layer.
Avoid overfilling near the edges to make rolling easier.
Step 6: Roll Carefully
Using the parchment paper or towel as a guide, gently roll the sweet potato layer into a tight log.
Work slowly to maintain an even shape.
Step 7: Transfer and Bake
Place the rolled rocambole seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
If desired, sprinkle extra cheese over the top.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until heated through and lightly golden.
Step 8: Rest and Slice
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5–10 minutes.
Slice into rounds and serve warm.
