 Categories: Tested, Appetizer, Leftovers
      Yield: 5 Turnovers
 
MMMMM---------------------------CRUST--------------------------------
  1 1/2 c  All purpose flour
    1/2 c  COLD Crisco (2 tb Butter)
      8 tb Water

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
      1 md Leftover baked potato
    1/8 c  Frozen peas, room temperature
      1 tb Diced onion, maybe more
      2 ds Salt
      1 ts Curry powder
    1/2 tb Tandori masala powder

MMMMM--------------------------EGG WASH-------------------------------
      1 ea Egg yolk
      1 tb Water
 
  Crust: Make pastry crust ahead of time and refrigerate.
  
  I used 2 tb butter and then filled the measuring cup up the rest of
  the way with Crisco.
  
  Roll out on pastry board - roll thin.  Used large dumpling press to
  cut five circles from the dough.  Had to reform dough along the way.
  
  Place dough circles on dumpling press, place 1/4 cup filling on the
  lower half of press.  Spread a small amount of water around the rim
  of the dough, fold press together and press dough firmly in place.
  Place on ungreased cookie sheet.  Continue with remaining dough
  circles.
  
  FILLING:
  
  Remove skin from baked potato, dice potato into small pieces.
  Combine with peas and finely diced onions. Mix together with
  spices.  (experiment with spice mixture)
  
  Place 1/4 cup of filling into each turnover made - (See above).
  
  Brush already formed turnovers with egg yolk mixture right before
  baking.
  
  Bake in preheated 425 degree F oven for about 20 minutes or until
  crust is light brown. (Originally used 400 F - took over 35 minutes
  to brown.)
  
  Remove to rack and let cool a bit before eating.
  
  Tested 11/2/07  Will make again.
