Directions:
If time permits start the meat mixture in the morning and let stand up to 8 hours.

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm oil and sauté ground beef until meat is evenly browned and crumbly. Drain fat.

2. Add oil, onions, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper; cook until onions are soft and flavors are blended. Taste and adjust seasoning as required.

3. Transfer meat mixture to a large bowl; add riced potatoes, eggs and cheese. Mix well, taste and adjust seasoning as required, cover and set aside in refrigerator for up to 8 hours.

4. Divide meat mixture into 12 equal portions and roll into 6 inch cylinders.

5. Cook lasagna sheets a few at a time in boiling, salted water for 1 - 2 minutes. Remove sheets and place on clean tea towel in single layer to remove excess moisture. Continue until all sheets have been cooked.

6. Line 9 x 13 inch baking dish with 2 - 3 cups of sauce.

7. Working with one lasagna sheet at a time, spread one teaspoon of sauce on the sheet, top with meat mixture and roll the sheet to enclose the filling; place seam side down in single layer.

8. Top with remaining sauce and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 30 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and cannelloni are piping hot. Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes before serving.
