🥔 For the Potato Dough:

4 medium potatoes, peeled and boiled
1 egg
3 tablespoons cornstarch or flour
Salt and pepper, to taste

🍗 For the Chicken Filling:

1½ cups cooked shredded chicken (boiled or roasted)
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
¼ cup cream cheese or shredded mozzarella (optional for creaminess)
Salt, pepper, paprika, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

🧂 For Coating (Optional):

1 egg, beaten
Breadcrumbs or panko, for coating

Ensure the potatoes are well-mashed and slightly cooled before adding the egg
If the dough is too sticky, add more flour or cornstarch 1 tbsp at a time
Sauté the onion and garlic until fragrant before mixing with chicken for deeper flavor
If baking, brush with oil or melted butter for a crisp golden finish
Can be made ahead and frozen before frying or baking

🍳 Instructions

1. Make the Potato Dough

Boil the potatoes until fork-tender, then mash until smooth.
Let them cool slightly, then mix in the egg, flour/cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
Knead until a soft, pliable dough forms. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Chicken Filling

In a pan, sauté the onion and garlic in olive oil until soft and fragrant.
Add shredded chicken, cream cheese (if using), and spices. Mix well.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3. Assemble the Rolls

Take a scoop of potato dough and flatten it in your hand.
Place a spoonful of chicken filling in the center.
Gently fold and seal the dough around the filling, forming a small oval or round roll.
Repeat with remaining dough and filling.

4. Coat and Cook

Optional: Dip each roll into beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
To Fry: Shallow-fry in hot oil until golden brown on all sides.
To Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place rolls on a lined tray, spray with oil, and bake for 20 minutes or until golden, flipping once halfway.

5. Serve

Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with parsley or a creamy dip on the side.
