8 min
2
Cook the onions in 3 tablespoons of the oil over a medium heat for 10 minutes until soft and golden. Add the potatoes, salt, pepper and paprika and mash roughly with a fork, leaving some chunks. Stir in the parsley and cool for 10 minutes.

3
Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Lay a sheet of filo on the work surface, keeping the rest under a damp tea towel, and brush with oil. Overlap a second sheet along the long edge and brush that too.
4
Spoon a third of the filling in a line along the nearest edge and roll up tightly into a long sausage.
5
Coil it into a 24 cm round oiled tin. Repeat with the remaining filo and filling, joining the rolls end to end into one spiral.
6
Brush the top with oil and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until golden and crisp.
