Zutaten
  

For the potato dough

  • 140 –150 g flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • A few splashes of olive oil
For the beef filling
  • Ground beef
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
For assembly
  • 140 g grated cheese Emmentaler or similar
  • Olive oil for frying

Method
 

Step 1: Cook the Potatoes
  1. Cut the peeled potatoes into small cubes and boil them until fully soft. Drain well, then place them in the fridge until completely cooled.
Step 2: Mash and Make the Dough
  1. Mash the cold potatoes with a fork until smooth. Add flour, salt, paprika, curry powder, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and a little olive oil. Mix everything by hand until a soft, slightly firm dough forms. Using gloves helps keep things clean.
Step 3: Prepare the Beef Filling
  1. In a pan, cook the ground beef with salt, pepper, paprika, curry powder, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully cooked. Let it cool slightly.
Step 4: Shape the Pockets
  1. Take a portion of dough and flatten it in your hand. Add a small handful of cheese and a similar amount of beef (roughly a 1:1 ratio). Fold the dough around the filling and seal it into a round pocket.
Step 5: Cook the Pockets
  1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the pockets until golden and crispy on all sides, turning them frequently to ensure even browning.
Step 6: Serve
  1. Serve hot with a garlic sauce on the side for dipping.
