The dough need to rest for about an hour

And its much more nice to handle cold mash-potato to warm one..

Dont worry it will be hot soon enough

Now that you have everything time for the last prep phase

Cut the dough into six pieces, and round them up so they'll be around 6 cm in diameter, with about 5 mm thickness

Take a little mash and place inside the dough, close the edges so all the mash will be covered then flatten until the mash almost burst through the thin dough.

Frying
