Potato Puff Recipe

Saturday, October 29, 2011 - Posted by Spoon and Chopsticks

This is an easy snack with only a few ingredients that are easily available in your kitchen. The cumin powder enhances the flavour of the potato mixture and makes it more delightful. You can enjoy these potato puffs with any type of sauce. These can be enjoyed in lunch or in picnics.

Ingredients:

Yields 8 potato puffs

4 medium-size potatoes, boiled
1 red onion, finely chopped
1/2 capsicum, finely chopped
A handful of chickpeas, soaked overnight and boiled
1 tsp salt or to taste
Chilli powder to taste
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1 egg, whisked
2 sheets of Filo pastry, defrosted

Preparation:

Mash the potatoes but don't mash them too hard.
Put potatoes, onion, capsicum and chickpeas in a bowl. Add salt, chilli powder and cumin powder. Mix well.

Cut the defrosted Filo pastry into 4 squares.
Put the potato mixture in the centre of the square pastry.

Bring the 2 corners together and seal along the edges to form a cone shape.

Then seal the opening.

Spray the baking tray with oil. Put the puffs on the tray and brush them with egg wash.

Bake in a moderate oven for about 15-20 minutes or until brown.

Wow, I just love the filling of the potatoes, chili peppers, to really add "kick" to the flavor.
Very nice baked, and not fried. A perfect side dish, or just by itself as a great snack!

Oh gosh it's right before lunch time and your potato puffs are killing me. I love both potatoes and puff pastries and this sounds and looks soooo good! One day I have to make this. I've never used filo sheet so probably I'll try that one instead of reg. puff pastry sheet. Thanks for sharing!
