    Cut each oval in half lengthwise, creating two semi-circles.

    Take one semi-circle and moisten the straight edge with water. Fold it into a cone shape, overlapping the edges slightly and pressing firmly to seal.

    Około 5 min

    Wskazówka kucharza: Ensure a good seal to prevent the filling from escaping.

13. 13

    Fill the cone with a spoonful or two of the cooled potato filling.

    Wskazówka kucharza: Do not overfill, or it will be hard to seal.
