Samsa with chicken and potatoes

Homemade samsa with chicken and potatoes can be made from either homemade dough or frozen store-bought dough. Defrost it only at room temperature. Do not open the oven during cooking, as the dough may settle due to the drop in temperature. When choosing chicken for samsa, remember that it should not be slippery and sticky, its meat should be elastic enough. Yellow chicken is most likely too old, the filling will be tough.

Samsa with chicken and potatoes - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Absolutely! Ground beef, lamb, or turkey are excellent substitutes for chicken. Just ensure the meat is cooked through if using raw, or adjust baking time slightly if using pre-cooked meat.
Store cooled samsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat in an oven or toaster oven to restore crispness.
Yes, for a vegetarian version, simply replace the chicken with a combination of finely chopped mushrooms, lentils, or a plant-based ground meat alternative. The potatoes and spices will still provide great flavor.
Ensure your pastry is properly thawed but still cold. If it becomes too soft and sticky, pop it back in the fridge for 15 minutes. Work on a lightly floured surface and handle the dough gently to prevent tearing.
Yes, they freeze beautifully. Assemble the samsa, place them on a baking sheet to freeze solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
Samsa pairs wonderfully with a cool yogurt-based sauce like tzatziki, a spicy chili sauce, or even a simple sweet chili dip. A tamarind or mint chutney would also be delicious.
