Categories: Appetizers
Yield: 1 Servings

MMMMM---------------------------DOUGH--------------------------------
3 c Flour; sifted
1/2 ts Salt,
1 c Water,
1 Egg; slightly beaten,
Vegetable oil,
1 Egg yolk; mixed with
1 tb Water

MMMMM-----------------------POTATO FILLING----------------------------
4 c Potato; cooked, mashed
1/3 c Vegetable oil
3 c Onion; chop fine
Salt & pepper; to taste

Saute onion in oil until tender and lightly browned and them mix with
pota- toes, salt & pepper. Adjust seasoning. ASSEMBLY Measure flour,
baking powder & salt in large bowl. Add water, egg & 1 Tblsp-->oil.
Stir until dough holds together. Put on a lightly floured surface &
knead until smooth and elastic, using only enough extra flour to keep
dough from sticking-this takes about 5 minutes. Put dough on lightly
floured board, cover w/large bowl and let sit for 1/2 hour. Divide
dough into 4 pcs. Roll out each piece into a 12" square on a lightly
floured sur- face. Cut in half to make two 6" wide strips. Brush
lightly with---> oil. Spoon 1/8 of the filling down the center of
each strip (the long way) Fold 1 long side over the filling & roll
to the other side. This will make a long roll. Pinch edges together.
Repeat with rest of dough & filling. Put rolls on lightly oiled cooky
sheets with the seam side down. Score with the blunt edge of a knife
at 1-1/2" intervals, do not cut through. Brush with egg yolk mixture &
bake in a preheated 375'oven for 30 minutes, or until golden
brown. Remove from oven & cut all the way through where scored. If
you are freezing these, allow to cool to room temperature, place on
cookie sheet & put in freezer un- til frozen. Wrap well in plastic,
over wrap with aluminum foil & return to freezer. To reheat, preheat
oven to 375 degrees and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until hot.
