Baked Corned Beef Roll-Ups with Apricot Glaze
Corned beef slices wrap around a savory filling of mashed Yukon Gold and sweet potatoes with caramelized onions, bound with egg. A tangy-sweet apricot-soy glaze brushes the top before baking until golden. Garnish with fresh scallions for a bright finish. A composed plate that balances umami, sweetness, and earthiness.

Tips
Overlap corned beef slices to create a continuous surface for rolling without tears.
Keep potato and sweet potato fillings separate for distinct flavor and color contrast.
Mix apricot glaze until completely smooth to ensure even coating.
Good to Know
Refrigerate in airtight container up to 3 days. Reheat covered in 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
Prepare filling and assemble roll-ups up to 4 hours ahead. Keep covered in refrigerator. Apply glaze and bake just before serving.
Plate warm roll-ups seam side down. Spoon any pan juices over top. Garnish with scallions.
Common Mistakes
Do not skip mashing potatoes thoroughly; lumps prevent even rolling and binding.
Do not overbake; 15-20 minutes is sufficient to heat through without drying corned beef.
Do not apply glaze before assembly; it prevents proper rolling and burns during extended time.
