Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g Potatoes
- 250 g Pork sausage (ground or removed from casing)
- 50 g All-purpose flour
- 100 g Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 2 tbsp Parsley (chopped, optional)
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp Water
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into small chunks. Place them in a pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart into small crumbles. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cooked sausage, all-purpose flour, shredded cheddar cheese, egg, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix until well combined. If desired, stir in chopped parsley for added freshness.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into approximately 9 equal squares.
Spoon a tablespoon of the sausage-potato mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square. Fold the corners of the pastry up and pinch the edges to seal tightly, forming a small bundle.
Place the bundles seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the second egg and 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the potato puffs with the egg wash to give them a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
