140–150 grams - flour
1 tsp - salt
½ tsp - paprika
½ tsp - curry powder
1 tsp - garlic powder
1 tsp - onion powder
½ tsp - pepper

160 grams - ground beef

Instructions

Cut the peeled potatoes into small cubes and boil them until fully soft. Drain well, then place them in the fridge until completely cooled.
Mash the cold potatoes with a fork until smooth. Add flour, salt, paprika, curry powder, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and a little olive oil. Mix everything by hand until a soft, slightly firm dough forms. Using gloves helps keep things clean.
In a pan, cook the ground beef with salt, pepper, paprika, curry powder, garlic powder, and onion powder until fully cooked. Let it cool slightly.
Take a portion of dough and flatten it in your hand. Add a small handful of cheese and a similar amount of beef (roughly a 1:1 ratio). Fold the dough around the filling and seal it into a round pocket.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the pockets until golden and crispy on all sides, turning them frequently to ensure even browning.
Serve hot with a garlic sauce on the side for dipping.
