  2. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Cook the peeled potatoes in boiling salted water for 20 minutes, then mash them.

  5. Season the filling with salt and pepper, then let it cool.
  6. Roll the dough out thinly, cut 8 cm rounds and put a spoonful of filling in the centre of each.
