Ingredients

• butter 4 tablespoons
• milk 2 tablespoons
• baking powder 0.5 tsp
• salt 0.5 tsp
• garlic 3 pcs.
• frying oil

Directions

1. Peel the potatoes and garlic, cut into cubes, leave the garlic whole and boil both products together in salted water until tender. Drain the water, add 2 tablespoons of milk, mash the potatoes in mashed potatoes. Cool to room temperature.
2. Separate the required amount of oil and put it in the freezer - this will make it easier to grate. In a separate bowl, mix sifted flour with salt and baking powder, grate chilled butter and rub into crumbs with your hands. Add mashed potatoes, stir. Then add additives as desired, I used only finely chopped greens. Knead the dough until it is smooth and homogeneous.
3. Divide the dough in two. Roll each into a cake about half a centimeter thick. Cut into segments, into eight pieces.
4. Fry in vegetable oil until golden brown. Serve hot, with sour cream or kefir, natural yogurt.
