Potato, Cheese & Beef Stuffed Pockets

Potato Dough

  • 500 g potatoes (peeled weight, cut into small cubes)
  • 140-150 g flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • A few splashes of olive oil

Filling

  • 160 g ground beef
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 140 g grated cheese (Emmentaler or similar)
  • Olive oil, for frying

Directions

  • Cut the peeled potatoes into small cubes and boil until fully soft. Drain well, then chill in the fridge until completely cooled (warm potatoes make the dough sticky).
  • Mash the cold potatoes with a fork until smooth. Add the flour, salt, paprika, curry powder, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and a little olive oil. Mix by hand until a soft, slightly firm dough forms.
  • In a pan, cook the ground beef with its salt, pepper, paprika, curry powder, garlic powder and onion powder until fully cooked. Let cool slightly.
  • Flatten a portion of dough in your hand, add a small handful of cheese and a similar amount of beef (roughly 1:1). Fold the dough around the filling and seal into a round pocket.
  • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and cook the pockets until golden and crispy on all sides, turning frequently.
  • Serve hot with a garlic sauce for dipping.
