Preheat oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Ensure oven is fully preheated for optimal puff pastry rise. - 2
Prepare the filling: Mash the boiled potatoes in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Ensure potatoes are completely dry before mashing. - 3
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sautรฉ until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
โฑ๏ธ 8 minutes - 4
Add the squeezed spinach to the skillet. Cook until any remaining moisture has evaporated, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
โฑ๏ธ 5 minutes - 5
Combine the mashed potatoes, sautรฉed onion and spinach mixture, nutmeg, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well to create the filling.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. - 6
Unroll the puff pastry sheets onto a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 6 equal squares (or desired shape).
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Work quickly with puff pastry to keep it cold. - 7
Place a generous tablespoon of the potato-spinach filling onto one half of each pastry square. Fold the other half over to create a triangle or rectangle, and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Don't overfill, or the bourekas may burst. - 8
Arrange the bourekas on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using.
๐ก ์ ๋ฌธ๊ฐ ํ: Egg wash gives a golden, shiny finish. - 9
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed, golden brown, and cooked through.
