Thin Country-Style Potato Hand Pies

Velvety, thin dough wrapped around a thick layer of potato filling! These are my favorite pies from childhood — my mom made them so well. We called them "lapotki" (they're shaped like a lapot, an old Russian woven bast shoe). She'd fry up a whole basketful — enough to share with friends out in the yard, pack for a school snack, or enjoy at home with a glass of cold milk.

  • Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain them (save 1 cup of the cooking water for the dough) and mash. Dissolve the yeast, sugar, and salt in the warm potato water. Add 2 cups of the flour and knead a soft, slightly sticky dough. Set it in a warm spot for 1 hour. Then work in the remaining flour and knead again. Divide the dough into 3 pieces and roll each into a rope. Cut into pieces. Roll each piece out into a round. Place a heaping tablespoon of filling in the center, lift the edges, and pinch them shut. Turn each pie seam-side down and roll it out to about ¼ inch (5 mm) thick. Lay the pies seam-side down into plenty of hot oil and fry in the skillet on both sides. Dig in!
