1 large potato, peeled and cooked until tender, drained
60g butter, softened to room temperature
60g cream cheese, softened to room temperature
Olive oil spray
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
Method
For best results use the KitchenAid® Stand Mixer.
Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan forced).
Attach the flat beater to the standmixer. Place the flour, gum, baking powder and salt into the mixing bowl. Mix on speed 1 until well combined. Remove from bowl.
Place 200g of potato into the mixing bowl. Beat until smooth on speed 4 and let cool 5 minutes.
Add butter, cream cheese and flour mixture and beat on speed 2 until a firm mixture is formed. Increase to speed 4 and beat for 1 minute or until light and fluffy.
The mixture will be smooth and will form a dough when pushed together with your fingertips. Form into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap.
Refrigerate while preparing the sausage filling.
Tips & Hints
The pastry does not require resting as with traditional wheat flour dough. The chilling will simply make it easier to roll without sticking.

1/2 small carrot, peeled
1/2 stick celery

Season the mixture. Remove grinder and attach the flat beater. Mix mixture on speed 6 for 2 minutes or until sticky and very well combined.
Roll the pastry into a large rectangle between 2 sheets of floured baking paper. Cut pastry into 2 long rectangles and trim the edges to neaten.
Place half the filling lengthwise along the centre of each rectangle.
Using the paper as a guide, roll the pastry over the filling to enclose. Cut to desired size, spray with olive oil and roll in combined sesame seeds. Place seam side down onto a baking paper lined baking tray.
Bake for 20 minutes, increase oven temperature to 220°C and bake a further 5 minutes or until golden and crisp.
Tips & Hints
The dough can be made and refrigerated up to 2 days in advance, if desired. Makes 8 large sausage rolls.
