Meat Filled Cigars (from Family First pullout)

Cigars

1 cup potato starch
1 cup water
3 eggs
3 tbsp oil
a pinch salt
oil for frying

Filling

2 tbsp oil
2 onions diced
1 lb (450 g) ground meat
2 potatoes, cooked
1 egg
paprika and white peper to taste
salt to taste

To prepare the cigars, combine potato starch, water eggs, oil and salt until you have a smooth batter. Lightly grease an 8" frying pan and preapre cigars as you do crepes. Fry for 3 minutes on eac side.

To prepare the filling, heat oil in a frying pan and saute onions until translucent. Add ground meat and saute until it changes color (I was nervous about it not getting cooked enough so I put it in the oven for 15 minutes covered, with a foil tin nearby with water, not to dry out the meat). Transfer meat mixture to a food processor and add cooked potatoes, egg, and spices. Blend until smooth. (I dont have a fleishig processor so I processed potatoes and egg and spices and then mixed it all in a fleishig bowl by hand).

Place 1 tbsp ofmeat mixture on each cigar. Roll into cigar shape and repeat until all cigars are filled. Heat oil in a frying pan and fry a few ciagrs at a time until brown.

Serve immediately.

(I doubled the recipe for more cigars and had way too much filling, even though I used a tbsp of filling for each. I warmed a few up for samples tonight in a little duck sauce and they were amazing and beautiful. Enjoy!)

Do you reheat from frozen on the platter, or defrost them first? Thanks!

A day before I use them I defrost as many as I want to use. They start defrosting in the fridge, and are possibly frozen in the centers. We like them a lot warmed up with just the bottoms in duck sauce.
