Classic Potato Pocket

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.

2. 2

   Finely chop the onion.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, mash the boiled potatoes. Add the chopped onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

4. 4

   Add mayonnaise to the potato mixture and mix until smooth and creamy.

5. 5

   In a separate bowl, add the all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water (about 60 ml) to form a soft, pliable dough.

6. 6

   Divide the dough into small balls (about 6-8 pieces). Roll each ball into a thin circle (about 10 cm diameter) on a lightly floured surface.

7. 7

   Place 2-3 tablespoons of the potato filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to form a pocket and seal the edges by pressing gently.

8. 8

   Heat the vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.

9. 9

   Place the potato pockets in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.

10. 10

    Remove from the pan and serve hot with your favorite dip or chutney.
