Water fried pies in oil

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make water-fried pies in oil? First, wash and peel the potatoes.

2. STEP 2

   

   Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender.

3. STEP 3

   

   Make mashed potatoes, drain the potato broth and let it cool slightly

4. STEP 4

   

   Prepare the necessary ingredients for the dough. If the broth turns 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 with dry yeast - this significantly saves cooking time. Be sure to sift the flour. This will saturate it with oxygen, and the finished dough will turn out more tender and fluffy.

7. STEP 7

   

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

8. STEP 8

   

   The dough turns out smooth and elastic, pleasant to work with. If necessary, add a little more flour. If the dough is too stiff, add a little water.

9. STEP 9

   

   Cover the bowl with the dough with a towel and leave in a warm place for 1 hour

10. STEP 10

    

    Prepare the necessary ingredients for the filling. I have pork and beef, but any meat, chicken or even liver will do here. First pass the meat through a meat grinder.

11. STEP 11

    

    Peel the onion and chop finely.

12. STEP 12

    

    Fry the onion in vegetable oil until golden brown.

13. STEP 13

    

    Add minced meat to the onion, salt and pepper to taste, fry everything together for about 5 minutes.

14. STEP 14

    

    Add fried meat to mashed potatoes.

15. STEP 15

    

    Mix everything thoroughly.

16. STEP 16

    

    The filling is ready.

17. STEP 17

    

    After an hour, the dough should increase in volume.

18. STEP 18

    

    Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a chicken egg. From the specified amount of ingredients I got 25 pies.

19. STEP 19

    

    Use your hands to form the cakes.

20. STEP 20

    

    Place filling on each tortilla.

21. STEP 21

    

    Seal the edges well and form into pies. Place them seam side down.

22. STEP 22

    

    Leave the pies under the towel for 10-15 minutes to allow them to rise.

23. STEP 23

    

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

24. STEP 24

    

    Turn them over and fry them on the other side

25. STEP 25

    

    Bon appetit!
