Author Notes
Its kinda like potato leek soup. Its kinda like a knish. Its definitely delicious. With a crusty outside and gooey mashed potato inside, this is a great recipe when you have too many potatoes (yes there is such a thing) or a lot of leftover mashed potatoes from the holidays. —kat gans

On a cutting board work dough into either one large or two small circular patties and spread out and flatten with the palm of your hand. Once at desired shape and size cut the circles into 12 triangles.
