POTATO POCKETS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add potatoes, and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 12 minutes. Stir in onion and sausage, breaking up sausage as it cooks; continue cooking until meat is no longer pink, about 5 minutes more. Stir in thyme and salt; remove from heat.
• Place puff pastry on a lightly floured surface, unfold, and roll out to a 12-inch square. Cut into quarters to get four 6-inch squares. Place one quarter of the sausage mixture in the middle of each puff-pastry square. Gently fold one corner of the square over the filling to the opposite corner, forming a triangle; press edges to seal. Repeat with each remaining square.
• Place filled pockets on a rimmed baking sheet, and brush lightly with egg. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

STUFFED POTATO POCKETS

Steps:

• In a large bowl add the mashed potatoes, egg, salt and pepper. Start to combine with a fork. Then add the parmesan cheese, flour, baking powder and chopped parsley and mix to almost combine.
• You can either mix this dough by hand or with a food processor. When almost combined move to a floured flat surface and knead into a ball. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 30 minutes.
• Cut your choice of cheese and ham or prosciutto into small pieces.
• Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C). Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• It's easier to work with half the dough at a time, on a floured flat surface, lightly flour the top of the pastry (if you find it sticky) roll the dough into 1/8 inch thickness and cut out with round or even heart cookie cutters (2 ¾ - 3 inches / 7 cm). Make sure you have an even amount of cut outs. Place half the rounds on the prepared cookie sheets.
• On one of the rounds, place some cut up ham or prosciutto and 3-4 small cubes of your favourite cheese. Cover with another round, seal shut with your fingers (easier if you dip them in water first) then close again with the tongs of a fork. Drizzle with olive oil then bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.

PERFECT POTATO LATKES

Steps:

• In a food processor or through a salad shooter, finely grate peeled potatoes and onion. The faster the grating the less liquid that will come out.
• Add flour and mix well.
• Line a sieve with cheesecloth and transfer potatoes and onion to the sieve.
• Set sieve over a bowl, twist the cheesecloth into a pouch, and squeeze out as much moisture as you can.
• Let the mixture drain at least 15 minutes.
• After 15 minutes, pour off liquid from the bowl, but leave the white potato starch that settles on the bottom of the bowl.
• To the starch, add the eggs.
• Return drained potato-and-onion mixture and combine well.
• Return this entire mixture to the sieve and set the sieve over a bowl. Your latke mixture will continue to weep while you're cooking. This is normal, but you don't want any of this moisture; it'll turn your potatoes red.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• In a large skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil over medium-high heat until hot.
• Take about 2 tablespoons worth of the mixture into your hands and press them together to make a thin cake.
• Pat lightly in flour.
• Drop this pressed cake into the oil and fry until brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side; latkes should be golden and crisp on both sides.
• Eat right away or keep warm in oven.
• Serve with apple sauce or sour cream.
