The filling of potatoes with the addition of fried onions is saturated with aromas of spices.

Ingredients

• For the test:
• Potatoes - 290 g
• Water (warm) - 150 ml
• Refined vegetable oil - 50 ml + for working with dough
• Flour - 500 g
• Dry yeast - 6 g
• or pressed yeast - 18 g
• Sugar - 0.5 tsp
• Salt - 1 tsp
• For filling:

• Vegetable oil - 25 ml
• Bay leaf - 1-2 pcs.
• Allspice peas - 3-4 pcs.
• Ground black pepper - to taste
• Salt to taste

Directions

1. Sift flour (500 g is 4 incomplete glasses with a capacity of 200 ml).
2. If you do not want the presence of sunflower seed aroma in potato baked goods, use odorless oil (refined).
3. First, make mashed potato dough.
4. Peel and wash the potatoes.
5. Take 200 g of peeled potatoes, cut into pieces and transfer to a saucepan. Pour cold water into a saucepan, completely covering the potatoes. Send to high heat and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and cook the potatoes for 15-25 minutes, until tender. The cooking time depends on the type of potato and the size of the pieces.
6. Drain the broth from the finished potatoes. Mash the potatoes in mashed potatoes and cool until warm.
7. Prepare the filling potatoes in parallel.
8. Cut the peeled and washed potatoes into large pieces.
9. Place the potatoes in a separate saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil, add bay leaf, allspice and some salt. Cook the potatoes for 15-25 minutes, until soft.
10. Peel the onion, rinse and cut into cubes.
11. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan, put onions there.
12. Fry the onion until lightly golden. Season with salt and pepper.
13. Drain the broth from the pot with boiled potatoes for the filling, remove the bay leaf and allspice. Mash the lump-free mashed potatoes.
14. Add fried onions.
15. Season the filling with salt and pepper to taste, stir and let cool.
16. Start kneading the dough.
17. Heat the water to 40 degrees.
18. Add yeast (if pressed, crush), salt and sugar to the sifted flour. Stir.
19. Make a depression in the center of the flour mixture. Add warm water, cooled mashed potatoes and oil.
20. Stir with a spoon to moisturize all dry ingredients.
21. Knead the dough with your hands until a soft ball is formed. To avoid adding extra flour, brush your hands with vegetable oil.
22. After kneading the dough, grease a bowl with butter and put the bun in it. Cover the bowl with cling film and send to a warm place for 1-1.5 hours. (You can send the bowl into the turned off oven with a container of boiling water installed at the bottom.)
23. The dough has grown well. Crumple it on the board, greasing your hands with oil.
24. Cut the dough into 16 pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a ball. Cover the dough with cling film and leave in a warm place for 10-15 minutes.
25. Roll the dough ball into a not too thin circle. Place the potato filling in the center. Pinch the edges of the dough over the filling and shape the pie as desired.
26. Shape the remaining dough and filling into patties in the same way.
27. Cover the baking sheet with parchment.
28. On a baking sheet at a distance from each other, place the pies with the seam down, cover with cling film or a towel and leave to rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes.
29. By the end of this time, preheat the oven to 190 degrees.
30. By the end of this time, preheat the oven to 190 degrees.
31. Now send the pies with potatoes to the preheated oven and bake at 180-190 degrees for 25-40 minutes. The baking time depends on the power of the oven and the size of the patties.
32. Lean potato yeast pies are ready.
33. (I transferred them along with the parchment to the board, covered them with parchment, and on top with a warm towel and left for 20 minutes.)
34. Potato pies can be served. Bon Appetit!
