Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking the beef mixture
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the dough
  • Prepared dough for pockets (e.g., store-bought or homemade)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Boil the diced potatoes in salted water for about 10-15 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant.
  3. Add ground beef, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until browned throughout, about 7-10 minutes.
  4. Once the beef is cooked, mix in the drained potatoes and shredded cheddar cheese until it melts slightly.
Assembly
  1. Roll out the prepared dough and cut it into circles (about 6 inches in diameter).
  2. Place a generous spoonful of the beef-potato mixture in the center of each circle. Fold over and seal the edges.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the pockets on a greased baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

Store leftover pockets in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for a month. Reheat at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
