I only had one eggplant and one potato, so I came up with a side dish for our main meal.

You can also add cheese in the middle of the potato, or wrap the potato in ham before wrapping it in eggplant. Recipe by papiraki

Steps

1

Remove the stem of the eggplant and thinly slice the skin off both ends (this because the skin is tough and is difficult to wrap). Slice it into 2-3 mm-thick strips. (I cut mine into 6 pieces.)
2

Sprinkle on some salt and allow the eggplant to wilt.
3

Microwave the potato so that it softens. Peel the skin and mash it together with the milk. Lightly season it with the soup stock granules while it's still warm.
4

Shape the potato from Step 3 into 6 barrel-shapes, and wrap the eggplant around the potato. You can secure them closed with toothpicks, but I used pasta and secured each piece in 2 or 3 places.
5

Coat them with flour, dip them into beaten egg, then coat them in panko.
6

For baking: Drizzle over some oil and bake them in the oven at 180ºC for 12-13 minutes. For deep-frying: Deep-fry them in oil until they turn golden brown.
