Ingredients

  • 200 g Potatoes, white

  • 250 g Flour, Wheat, bread flour

  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder

  • 2 pinch Salt, table

  • 60 g Powdered sugar

  • 1 bag Sugar, white

  • 1 piece Egg, fresh

  • 1 piece Egg, egg white, fresh

  • 60 g Butter, unsalted

filling

  • 50 ml Tangerine juice

  • 100 g Walnuts

  • 50 g Spices, poppy

Steps

  1. Place the ground walnuts in a bowl and mix them with poppy seeds and apricot juice. Let the filling rest for about an hour.

  2. Cut the butter into smaller cubes. Peel the boiled potatoes. In a larger bowl, sift the flour together with baking powder and salt. Grate the boiled potatoes into the bowl and season everything with vanilla sugar and powdered sugar. Crack an egg into the bowl, add the butter cubes and egg white. Mix well and knead the ingredients by hand into a pliable dough, shape it into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  3. Shape the filling into small balls. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 5 mm thick and cut it into squares with sides approximately 5 cm long. Place a ball of filling on each square and shape the hats. Form the hats by folding two opposite corners of the square over the filling and pressing them together. Fold the bottom side and press it against the dough only at the ends. To help the dough stick better, you can slightly moisten the edges of the square with water.

  4. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Arrange the prepared hats on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Once the hats are baked, arrange them on a serving platter, let them cool, and serve to your guests.
