Method

1. 1

   Combine flour, yeast, salt, and warm water in a bowl, knead into a soft dough, and let it rise.

2. 2

   Chop the onion, sauté in vegetable oil, then add mashed boiled potatoes, spices, and salt.

3. 3

   Divide the risen dough into walnut-sized pieces and roll each into a small disc.

4. 4

   Stack the rolled dough discs, brushing melted butter between each layer.

5. 5

   Lay half of the buttered dough layers in a baking tray, then spread the potato filling evenly over them.

6. 6

   Cover the filling with the remaining dough layers, brushing butter between them, and slice into portions.

7. 7

   Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for about 40 minutes until golden brown.

Note. Mixing a little vegetable oil into the melted butter helps create an even crispier, flaky texture between the layers.
