POTATO PUFFS

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a medium pot and cover with cold water; season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook until fork-tender, about 20 minutes; drain. Pass the potatoes through a ricer into a large bowl or mash with a potato masher until smooth.
• Combine the milk, butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, add the flour and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until incorporated. Return the saucepan to the stove and cook over low heat, stirring, until the mixture comes together and pulls away from the side of the pan, about 1 minute. Continue stirring until the mixture is slightly shiny, about 4 more minutes.
• Transfer the mixture to a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed, about 1 minute. Add half of the mashed potatoes and the whole egg and beat until incorporated. Add the remaining potatoes and the egg yolks and beat until creamy and smooth, about 1 more minute. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip. Set a large piece of parchment paper on a cutting board. Pipe about 24 mounds (1 to 1 1/2 inches each) of the potato mixture on the parchment. Cut the parchment between the mounds with a paring knife so each puff sits on its own piece of paper.
• Heat 2 inches of peanut oil in a large pot until a deep-fry thermometer registers 325 degrees F. Working in batches, carefully invert each puff into the oil, leaving it on the parchment. The parchment will fall off as the puffs cook; remove with tongs. Fry until golden, turning as needed, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels; season with salt.

(You can add a splash of water every now and again if the mixture starts to stick to the pan).- Reduce the heat to low. Add the curry powder, salt, and lemon juice, mix well and fry for about one minute.- Add the beef mince. Turn the heat to high. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to break the mince into very tiny pieces. Fry until the meat has turned from a pink to a brown colour.- Add half a cup of hot water, cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until the mixture is almost dry.- Season with salt, add the garam masala and squeeze of lemon juice, mix well.- Mix in the mashed potato with the meat filling. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Allow to cool completely.
• MAKING THE SAUSAGE ROLL- Defrost four sheets of puff pastry. Preheat oven 200°C (400°F)- Cut each sheet of puff pastry in half lengthwise - you will end up with eight rectangles measuring about 24 x 12 cm.- Divide the filling evenly between the puff pastry sheets.- Use your hands to shape the filling into a long "sausage" shape along the long edge of each pastry rectangle.- Lightly brush one long edge of each of the pastry sheets with egg wash. Roll the pastry over the filling and press gently to seal, and transfer to a lined baking tray seam side down.- Cut each of the eight long sausage rolls into six even sized pieces, moving them so that there is a little space between each cut. Brush with the remaining egg wash. Sprinkle on sesame seeds.
