Makes 15 small samosas.

Ingredients:

  • 1 small leftover baked potato, peeled and riced
  • 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil (divided use)
  • 1/4 c finely chopped green onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 veggie franks, coarsely grated (We use Cedar Lake Deli-Franks.)
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp nutritional yeast (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 recipe for our Low Fat Pie Crust

Directions:

  1. Place the riced potato in a medium bowl, and stir in 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil, the green onion, garlic, grated franks, sugar, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, ginger and red pepper flakes. Blend until well-incorporated.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  3. Roll out the dough on lightly floured wax paper until it is 1/8 inch thick. Cut 2-inch circles using a biscuit cutter or small glass. Re-roll the scraps until you cut about 15 circles.
  4. Place a rounded teaspoon of filling in the center of each circle. Fold each in half, pinch the edges together, and place on a large un-greased baking sheet. Flatten slightly and pierce each with a fork. Use the fork to press around the edges of the samosas once more.
  5. Brush with the remaining 2 teaspoons of sesame oil. Bake 15 minutes. Flip over and bake another 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm, at room temperature, or hot. Serve as is, or with our Peach Chutney or the dipping sauce of your choice.
