My partner Rachael’s family is from Trinidad and so we decided to try this version. Dough is filled with a potato filling and baked or deep fried. These are quite large and deep fried.

  • 150 ml (2/3 cup) warm water
  • 600g (1lb 5oz) Russet potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 200 ml (scant 1 cup) cooking oil of choice, for frying
  • ** Seasoning for Potato Filling **
  • 2 Tbsp Green Seasoning
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or butter
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped, or 1 tbsp garlic powder (both optional)
  • 1/2 tsp all-purpose seasoning (optional)
