Spicy Ham Asparagus Cheese Potato Roll Ups (Gluten-Free) image

Came up with this out of the blue. My dad really liked them; he claimed the leftovers for his lunch the next day. I served these for dinner but I'm sure they would make a great appetizer. Would probably also be tasty with chicken used in place of the ham.

Time 40m

Yield 15 rolls, 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

8 ounces cooked lean ham
6 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese, shredded
3/4 cup asparagus
1 very large potato (Big. As big as you can find)
15 slices canned jalapenos
1/4 teaspoon red pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
cooking spray

Steps:

Prepare veggies. Thinly slice big potato in the long direction. You'll need about 15 slices that you are able to roll up and hold together with a toothpick. The bigger, the better. Cut asparagus into 1" sections. (I steamed my asparagus before baking the rolls but I'm not sure if it was necessary). Toss asparagus with small amount of oil, salt, and pepper.
Spray cooking sheet with oil and place potato slices onto sheet.
In middle of each slice, place small amount of ham and asparagus. Put a small amount of cheese in each also. Don't put too much in or it'll melt out all over the cookie sheet. Reserve some cheese for topping.
Roll each potato slice and stab all the way through with tooth pick.
Spray rolls with cooking spray and sprinkle with red pepper, black pepper and salt. Place 1 slice of jalapeno on each tooth pick (so it doesn't fall off). Sprinkle reserved cheese on top of rolls.
Bake at 425F for 15-20 minutes, until potatoes begin to crisp.
