• 1 teaspoon fine salt
  

  Step by Step Instructions

  Step 1: Preparing the Potatoes

  1. Peel and Cut the Potatoes: Start by peeling the potatoes and cutting them into small pieces to make cooking easier.
  2. Cook the Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a pan with plenty of water and cook until soft.

  Step 2: Preparing the Filling

  1. Mash the Potatoes: Once cooked, drain the potatoes and place them in a bowl. Mash the potatoes with a fork until you have a smooth puree.
  2. Add Flavor: Season the mashed potatoes with pepper and salt, mixing well.
  3. Prepare the Cheese: Cut the cheese into small pieces or grate it to make it easier to distribute in the filling.

  Step 3: Fill and Fold the Esfirras

  1. Prepare the Bread Slices: Use a rolling pin to slightly flatten the bread slices, making them easier to handle.
  2. Fill the Toast: Place a portion of mashed potatoes and a portion of cheese in the center of each slice of bread. Fold the slices in half to form triangles and press the edges with a fork to seal.

  Step 4: Breading

  1. Prepare the Ingredients for Breading: Prepare two plates, one with breadcrumbs and the other with beaten eggs.
  2. Coat the Toast: Dip each triangle first in the beaten egg and then in the breadcrumbs, making sure to completely coat each surface.

  Step 5: Fry the Toast

  1. 1. Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan, heat enough oil to fry the esfirras.
     2. Fry the Toast: Fry until golden and crispy on both sides.
  1. Drain Excess Oil: After frying, place the toast on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

     • Vary the filling by adding herbs or spices to customize it to your taste.
