Pies in oil fried on water

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   First of all, we cook potatoes - wash them, clean them

2. Step 2:

   

   Boil in salted water until ready

3. Step 3:

   

   Turn the potatoes into mashed potatoes, drain the potato broth and let it cool down a little

4. Step 4:

   

   Prepare the ingredients for the dough. If the broth turned out to be less - add some water. If you have a different filling, replace the broth with warm water or milk with water (50:50)

5. Step 5:

   

   Dissolve sugar and salt in warm potato broth

6. Step 6:

   

   Mix dry yeast with flour. I almost always cook from dry yeast - it saves a lot of cooking time.

7. Step 7:

   

   Combine the dry and liquid components and knead the dough, knead well for 10-15 minutes, at this stage I often resort to the services of a bread maker

8. Step 8:

   

   Our dough turns out smooth and elastic, it's nice to work with it

9. Step 9:

   

   Cover and leave in a warm place for 1 hour

10. Step 10:

    

    In the meantime, we are preparing the filling, for it we will need: mashed potatoes and pre-boiled meat through a meat grinder, an onion. I have pork with beef, but any meat, chicken or liver will do here - take any, it will be delicious)

11. Step 11:

    

    Finely chop the onion

12. Step 12:

    

    Fry in vegetable oil until golden brown

13. Step 13:

    

    Add the meat to the onion through a meat grinder, salt and pepper, fry for another 5 minutes

    Add the fried meat to the mashed potatoes

16. Step 15:

18. Step 17:

    

    After the specified time, the dough has already risen

19. Step 18:

    

    Divide it into small balls, about the size of a chicken egg. From these ingredients I got 25 pies

    We form tortillas with our hands

21. Step 20:

    

    Lay out the filling

22. Step 21:

    

    We fasten the edges well and make pies, lay them seam down

23. Step 22:

    

    Leave it under a towel for 10-15 minutes to rise, but you can also start frying the first molded pies, because they have already risen a little

24. Step 23:

    

    Fry in preheated vegetable oil. It should reach about the middle of the pie, be very hot, but in no case burn. I fry in an old cast-iron frying pan - it has a higher heating temperature. The pies are growing right before our eyes, it can be seen on the video

    Turn over and fry on the other side

    Our pies are ready! Enjoy your meal!
