Qutab with Potato Filling

Azerbaijani-style turnovers — surprise your family! Qutab is a dish that's a bit like Russian hand pies on one hand, yet quite different on the other. For one thing, qutab is usually cooked in a dry skillet — thin unleavened dough wrapped around a generous savory or sweet filling. I don't know about everyone else, but my family fell in love with this treat, so I make it often. Today I'm making qutab with a potato filling — come join me! (Qutab is a thin Azerbaijani stuffed flatbread.)

    1. Peel and wash the potatoes, cut them into cubes, and boil until tender.
    1. Rinse the dill, pat it dry, and chop it finely.
    1. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher, add salt and the chopped dill, and mix.
    1. Sift the flour into a bowl, add salt, and pour in warm water. Knead the dough — it should be soft and not stick to your hands. Gather it into a ball, put it in a bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
    1. Divide the rested dough into equal pieces (I usually make 8), and roll each out into a thin round. Spread the filling over half of each round, fold the other half over, and pinch to seal. This gives you the classic crescent-shaped qutab.
    1. Cook the qutab in a dry skillet on both sides. If you like, you can brush the finished ones with butter, but I prefer not to — I find the qutab tastes better and is undoubtedly lighter without it.
  • Serve the qutab hot, with a salad or your favorite sauce on the side.
  • Enjoy!
