Equipment

  • Medium Bowl
  • 15x12 Sheet Pan

Ingredients

  • 1 Russet potato small (12 oz, 340g) $0.74
  • 1 tsp curry powder $0.17
  • ½ tsp ground cumin $0.04
  • ½ tsp salt $0.02
  • ¼ cup frozen peas 90g, $0.14
  • ½ cup yellow onion small dice, (2.5oz, 70g) $0.39
  • 2 garlic cloves minced (1 Tbsp) $0.12
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese shredded, (60g) $0.49
  • 1 puff pastry sheet room temperature, $4.49*
  • 1 Tbsp vegetable oil $0.04**

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Gather all ingredients and cut the onions and garlic.
  • Pierce the potato on both sides with a fork. Microwave the potato for 5 minutes on each side. Remove the potato and let it cool slightly.***
  • In a medium bowl, mash the potato. Add the curry powder, cumin, salt, peas, onions, garlic, and mozzarella and fold to combine.
  • Cut the puff pastry into roughly twelve 4x3-inch boxes, then gently pull on each to create squares. Fill each center of the squares with ¼ cup of potato mix.
  • Fold each filled puff pastry square in half to make a triangle. Using a fork, carefully crimp and seal the edges.
  • Place the samosas on a lined oven-safe tray and brush the tops with vegetable oil.
  • Place the tray in the preheated oven and cook for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

*Depending on the brand of puff pastry, you might get more or fewer samosas. I used the brand Jus-Rol and got 12 total.
**I used vegetable oil to coat the pastry because it was cheap and what was available. You can also use egg wash or melted butter for the same effect.
***Microwaving the potato is a quick alternative to baking it in the oven. If you have a small leftover baked potato in your fridge, you can use that and skip the microwave step. Alternatively, you could dice the potato and boil it in water or use your air fryer to bake the potato, but it's not as quick as using the microwave.
