Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Unroll both sheets of puff pastry.
Place the first sheet in a baking tray and prick the base with a fork.
Cut the second sheet into 1-inch strips.
Spread the potatoes over the puff pastry base, add the diced guanciale, and cover everything with the egg mixture.
