Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: yams

Sweet potatoes provide more vitamins and minerals.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Coconut oil adds flavor and is a healthier fat.

Boil the potatoes and add salt, green seasoning, and cumin; mash the potatoes after boiling.

Knead the dough using all-purpose flour and sugar.

Heat oil in a pot for frying the pies.

Roll out pieces of dough and fill them with the mashed potato mixture.

Press the edges of the dough to seal the pies, using water to help stick the edges together.

Fry the pies in hot oil, flipping them occasionally until golden brown, about 4 minutes per batch.

If the pies are too small, add more potato filling to them before sealing.

Use a paper towel to drain excess oil after frying.
