Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds potatoes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
- 1 large egg
- ⅔ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 11.64 ounces ground turkey or pork
- 5.29 ounces mushrooms finely chopped
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried mixed herbs
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Peel and boil potatoes until tender. Drain and mash until smooth. Set aside to cool completely.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan. Cook onion for about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for 6-7 minutes until moisture is absorbed.
- Add ground meat, paprika, herbs, salt, and pepper to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes until moisture is absorbed. Stir in 2 teaspoons of flour and cook for another minute. Remove from heat.
- Place the meat mixture in a food processor, add tomato paste, and pulse briefly until sticky. Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside.
- To the mashed potato, add egg, salt, and 1 cup of flour. Combine until flour is no longer visible. Form into a smooth dough. Cut into 14 pieces.
- Flatten each piece of dough. Place 1-1.5 tablespoons of filling in the center. Close the dough around the filling and gently flatten the patty.
- Heat about 1.5 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Cook patties over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Do not overcrowd the pan. Serve immediately.
Notes
- For potatoes, you can remove excess moisture by heating them in the pot for 30 seconds after draining.
- The dough should be moist and slightly sticky. Dust with a little flour if it becomes too sticky, but avoid adding too much to maintain texture.
- Work swiftly when handling the dough.
- Wipe the pan after each batch to remove flour residue.
