all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is a cost-effective alternative with a neutral flavor.

Boil peeled and chopped potatoes in a pot of boiling water with salt until fork tender.

Drain the potatoes and add them to a bowl.

Add butter to the hot potatoes to keep the filling moist.

Mix in freshly chopped scallions, hot pepper, and cilantro.

Season with black pepper and ground cumin, then mash until smooth.

Let the filling cool slightly.

In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, brown sugar, salt, yeast, baking powder, and oil.

Mix the dry ingredients until well combined, then stream in warm water to form a soft dough.

Knead the dough for about 2 minutes until slightly sticky, then let it rest for 30-45 minutes.

Divide the dough into equal balls, about 16 total.

Flatten each dough ball with flour, fill with 2-3 tablespoons of potato filling, and seal the edges.

Roll the filled dough into an oval shape.

Heat oil in a pan over medium to medium-high heat.

Fry the aloo pies for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
