My favourite comforting heavenly food for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
This super easy recipe is a lifesaver for lunch or a great appetizer for dinner and a perfect choice for parties. You can use any cheese you like and make your own creations for the filling. You can roll up a big batch to freeze them.
You can replace the cheese with vegan cheese and make your perfect vegan pastry.
Ingredients
- 4 fresh ‘Yufka’ sheets (or 1 package frozen phyllo dough)
- 1 cup of Feta cheese
- 1 crated cheddar cheese
- Dash salt
- 2 cups of grated boiled potatoes
- Vegetable oil for frying
Method
If you’re using round ‘Yufka’ sheets, cut them into triangles. Divide each circle into eight triangular pieces.
If you are using frozen phyllo, try to cut them any size and similar to a triangle shape
In a bowl, mix cheddar, potato and crumbled feta cheese
If we are using the recipe for a vegan option, we can replace the cheese with any type of vegan cheese or any other vegetable like spinach to create our perfect vegan pastry
Take a pastry triangle and position it to wide end is at the top and the pointing down toward you
Spread about a teaspoon of the filling near to the top edge, leaving space on each side.
Fold the empty side of the pastry on to filling then top side pastry toward the centre to cover the edges of the filling. This will trap the filling inside as you roll the pastry.
Using your fingers, gently roll the pastry towards you. Wet the edge of the pastry and stick it to the roll. This will seal it as it fries.
Heat about 1 cup of oil to frying temperature. Add several pastries to the pan leaving some space in between them
Move them around as they fry till golden colour.
Drain the pastries on paper towels before serving.
