I got this recipe from a friend, whose grandfather used to make it for her all the time since childhood. Because the recipe requires frying, he would usually make it for her on a Friday afternoon, with tahini on the side and a vegetable salad. When I started making it took a little skill, but once I succeeded, it was impossible to stop making and there is never a time when I am not asked to make it. My recommendation - prepare minced meat with onions separately, prepare in portions and put in the freezer and that way there is always ready when you want to prepare and left to prepare the potatoes.

Ingredients
Ingredients:
  • For mashed potatoes:
  • 6-7 large potatoes with red peel
  • 2 tablespoons of oil
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tsp. turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons potato chips (if not, can be replaced with potato flour)
Fill:
  • 2 medium onions, diced
  • 2 tablespoons of oil
  • Half a kilo ofminced meat
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 1 tsp. salt
For frying:
  • oil
  • flour
  • Beaten egg
Instructions
How to prepare:
Cook the potatoes with the peel in a saucepan with plenty of water. When they soften, pour all the liquid (this is important, so that the potatoes don't just absorb water).
While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the filling: fry the onions until golden, add the minced meat and continue frying until it changes color.
Season, stir and set aside until the potatoes are ready.
Peel the boiled potatoes and mash into mashed potatoes. Add oil topped with the spices and potato chips and mix well.
Take a little of the potato mixture and flatten by hand like Cuba. Fill generously, close and placeon a cutting board. Dribble all pastels this way.
Heat oil to a quarter of the height of the pan.
Dip each pastel in flour and then in a beaten egg, frying until golden. Flip and fry the other side. Remove to absorbent paper.
Refrigerate slightly and serve.
