Layered samosa with potatoes
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. 1. Start, of course, with the dough. To prepare it, beat an egg with a pinch of salt in a deep bowl. 2. Add 100 grams of softened butter and begin beating until smooth. 3. Pour in warm water and mix thoroughly. 4. Add a pinch of salt and gradually begin incorporating flour. Use sifted premium-grade flour in the recipe for layered potato samsa to achieve perfect dough. 5. Divide the dough into three parts and let it rest in a warm place for half an hour, covered with a clean towel. 6. Meanwhile, boil potatoes in salted water and mash them into a puree. 7. Peel the onions and dice them finely. Sauté the onions in a small amount of butter until golden brown. Add to the potatoes. Season the filling with additional salt and pepper to taste, and if desired, enhance this simple layered potato samsa recipe with spices according to your preference. 8. Melt the remaining butter and let it cool slightly. 9. Roll out one portion of the dough quite thinly and brush it with butter using a pastry brush. 10. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, then roll out the second portion and place it on top. 11. Brush again with butter. Repeat the process with the third piece of dough. 12. Roll the layered dough tightly into a log and cut into small pieces. 13. Flatten each piece slightly and place a portion of filling in the center. 14. Shape each piece into a ball, triangle, or even a square—whichever you prefer. 15. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If desired, brush with beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds. 16. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown. Here's an easy way to make layered potato samsa. Serve warm or cooled. Perfect with tea.
