Instructions

Peel and chop the potatoes into even chunks. Boil in salted water until fork-tender (about 15-20 minutes), then drain and mash until smooth. Let cool.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onions until translucent (about 3 minutes), then add mushrooms and cook until moisture evaporates (6-7 minutes). Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine cooled mashed potatoes, beaten egg, flour, salt, and pepper to form a dough.
For the filling, mix cooked onions and mushrooms with ground turkey/beef, additional flour, spices, and seasonings.
Shape the potato dough into small patties, placing a tablespoon of filling in the center before sealing.
Heat remaining olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Fry each cake for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
