Patatesli Börek

Patatesli Börek is a delightful Turkish pastry filled with spiced potatoes, perfect for a hearty breakfast. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, this dish is a comforting start to your day.

Ingredients

• Yufka (Turkish pastry sheets) - 4 sheets
• Potatoes - 300 grams, peeled and diced
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Water - for boiling

Steps

1. Boil the diced potatoes in salted water for about 10-15 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
2. In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the boiled potatoes to the pan with the sautéed onions, then stir in paprika, salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley. Cook for another 5 minutes, mixing well. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
4. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
5. Lay one sheet of yufka on a clean surface and place a portion of the potato filling in the center. Fold the edges over to enclose the filling, and then place seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Repeat with the remaining yufka sheets and filling.
7. Brush the tops of the börek with a little olive oil to help them crisp up.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
