This is a fun recipe that requires some preparation * take three potatoes and boil them until they are soft * mash the potatoes and set them on the side in a medium bowl * in a pan with a small amount of olive oil – braze 6oz of chopped sirloin beef * add 1/2 chopped onion and 1/2 tsp of chopped chile (or use chile powder to taste) * add a small amount of bread crumbs to the meat filling and saute the mix until well cooked * set it aside in a small bowl so that the potato pockets can be formed * sprinkle a small amount of flour on a work board or the counter top * roll the mashed potato into four balls and flatten each one with a roller or by hand * using a Tbsp place the prepared meat mixture onto each potato disk * with fingers work the potato disk into a pocket that completely surrounds the meat mixture * (some recipes suggest that a hard-boiled egg be quartered and added to each pocket before enclosing them) * Place the meat and potato pockets into the air fryer pan * set temperature to 360 degrees F and the timer for eight minutes * This should be enough to give bread like consistency to the potato cover * If a firmer fried potato is desired – return the pockets to the air fryer for another 4 or 5 minutes * let them cool and serve or package them to be carried and eaten later at an event or on a road trip!
