flour to the potato filling, do it in small portions. Knead the dough first with a spoon, then with your hands.
Roll the resulting dough into a sausage, cut into 20 equal pieces and form balls.
Then with the palms of our hands we press the potato dough into a flatbread, put the minced meat in the middle and fold the edges to form a pie.
