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.

How to cook Samsa with chicken and potatoes

Step 1

Prepare the filling. Place the chopped potatoes, onions and chicken in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add ground spices (paprika, cumin), mix.

Step 2

Roll out the puff pastry for samsa. Divide the defrosted dough into squares. Cut into pieces and roll out the puff pastry pieces. Cut out round pieces for samsa. Roll the remaining dough into a ball, roll it out on the countertop and repeat the process.

Step 3

Make triangular pies. Place 1-2 tbsp of filling in the center of the blank. Fasten the edges of the blanks in the shape of a triangle.

Step 4

Bake the samsa. Place the pieces seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Cover with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and bake the homemade samsa for 40 minutes at 180 degrees.
