Crispy Potato Pastry in 15 Minutes with Flour, Water, Salt

Sure, here’s a simple recipe for crispy potato pastry using just flour, water, and salt:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 medium-sized potato, peeled and grated
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add water while stirring, until a dough forms. You may need slightly more or less water depending on the humidity in your kitchen.
2. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Form it into a ball, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes.
3. While the dough is resting, grate the potato using a grater or food processor. Squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated potato using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
4. Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Roll each ball out into a thin circle, about 1/8 inch thick.
5. Place a spoonful of grated potato in the center of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
6. Fold the dough over the potato filling to create a half-moon shape, then seal the edges by pressing them together with your fingers or a fork.
7. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the pastries to the pan, a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
8. Fry the pastries for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
9. Remove the pastries from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
10. Serve the crispy potato pastries hot, with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as they are.
