Lenten chebureks with potatoes
Description
The pastry is prepared simply and quickly. Vegan chebureks with potatoes are an excellent substitute for the classic meat recipe. The potato filling pairs well with the crispy dough, and the dish turns out just as good as with minced meat. I suggest making the dough with water; the chebureks will be thin and have bubbles. They can be served with tea or coffee.
