Irresistible Potato Bread

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, olive oil, water, flour, and salt until a soft dough forms.
2. Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 minutes to relax the gluten, making it easier to roll out.
3. Meanwhile, mash the boiled potatoes with butter, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
4. Divide the rested dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll out each piece on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about ½ cm thick.
5. Spread a portion of the mashed potato mixture evenly over each dough rectangle. Top with cheese and sliced salami.
6. Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges by pressing gently with your fingers.
7. Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil or butter.
8. Fry each stuffed potato bread for 4–6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
9. Remove from the pan and let rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
