- Add the sliced potatoes, season with salt, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.
- Meanwhile, prepare the meat. Place the pork neck slices between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them thin.
- Cut each slice in half (or into two pieces).
- Season each piece with salt and pepper.
- Place a sage leaf on each piece, roll it up, and secure with a toothpick.
- In another pan, heat a drizzle of (garlic) oil and brown the rolls on all sides.
- When well browned, add a splash of water, cover, and cook until fully cooked through.
- Add small pieces of scamorza cheese to the pan with the rolls; let it melt to create a little sauce.
- When the potato-leek mixture is cooked, blend it with an immersion blender until smooth. Adjust with black pepper.
- To serve: spread a layer of potato-leek cream on a plate, place the rolls on top, and garnish with dried tomatoes and a sage leaf.
