Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Drain and mash the potatoes in a bowl.

Mix in butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Sauté chopped onions in oil until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add sautéed onions to the mashed potatoes and mix well.

Stir in cheese, garlic, and parsley until evenly combined.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut dough into circles using a pastry cutter or glass.

Place a spoonful of potato filling in the center of each circle.

Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges with a fork.

Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F until golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.

Alternatively, fry in hot oil until crispy and golden, about 3-4 minutes per side.
