  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the Filling:

  • ½ small onion finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat 1 tbsp oil over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Add ground beef, cook 6-8 minutes until browned. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper. Set aside to cool.
  • In a bowl, mix mashed potatoes, flour, egg, salt, pepper, and green onions (optional) until a soft dough forms. Add flour gradually if too sticky.
