Boil the potatoes in their skin for about 20 minutes or until cooked through.

Chop the onion while the potatoes are cooking.

When the potatoes are cooked, remove the skin and mash them while still hot.

Let the mashed potatoes cool completely before adding the next ingredients.

Add the cheese, egg(s), onion, and parsley to the cooled potatoes. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste. Set aside.

Peel the carrot and dice it along with the bell pepper very small.

Fry the carrot and bell pepper in 1 tbsp of oil until soft. Mix with the cream cheese and season with salt, pepper, and your choice of spices and herbs.

Divide the potato dough into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a large circle.

Add some of the cream cheese mixture for the filling, flip one side over, and press together at the rim to create a half-circle.

Heat the remaining 2 tbsp of oil and fry the potato pockets on both sides until golden brown.

Remove from the pan and serve with a fresh salad.
