Morroccan Tuna Potato Breiks
¾ pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
1 hard boiled egg, shelled and diced
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 green onions, diced small
1 tablespoon capers, drained
½ -7 oz can tuna in oil, reserve oil
1-2 tablespoons Italian parsley, coarsely chopped
Fillo dough, thawed
Grapeseed oil
Oil for frying
Lemon wedges
Combine the potatoes, 1-teaspoon salt and enough water to cover and bring to a boil. Turn down the water and let simmer until the potatoes are knife tender. Drain and mash in a large bowl and let cool a bit. Fold in the rest of the ingredients and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add in any reserved tuna oil if it seems dry.
Stack 3 sheets of fillo and lay an 8-inch plate on top. Cut through the stacks to make circles using the plate as a template and discard the scraps. Place some filling just off center on the fillo and brush the edges with oil. Fold over the fillo to form a half moon. As you assemble the turnovers, keep the fillo and the fillo turnovers covered with a towel.
Meanwhile heat ½- inch of oil in a sauté pan to about 325° or until a little piece of fillo sizzles instantly. Carefully slide 1 or 2 turnovers into the hot oil, pressing the edges down with a spatula to keep them sealed. Cook about 2 minutes and turn them over and cook until golden. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with lemon wedges.
