For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or smoked paprika to the filling.

Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add 1/2 cup of warm water, mixing until a soft, pliable dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth.

If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If too dry, add a few drops of water.

3
Assemble the potato pies: Divide the dough into equal small portions. Roll out each portion into a thin circle. Place a spoonful of the potato filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, then seal the edges by pinching them or using a fork.

Ensure the edges are well-sealed to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.

Cook the potato pies: Heat a thin layer of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the pies in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd it. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Alternatively, you can bake them at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes.
