- 1 bunch flat-leaf parsley
- 300 g fine whole wheat flour

- 200 g potatoes
- 100 g Onions (2 onions)

- 4 tbsp coarse cream cheese

Instructions
-
1.
Let the spinach thaw according to package instructions. Warm the milk in a pot and pour into a large bowl.
-
2.
Crush the yeast with your fingers and stir it into the lukewarm milk with 1 tsp salt.
-
3.
Wash, dry, and finely chop the parsley; set aside 2 tbsp for the filling and add the rest to the bowl.
-
4.
Sift together the two flours and add to the yeast-milk mixture. Knead with a stand mixer’s dough hook until smooth and elastic.
-
5.
Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, until doubled in size.
-
6.
Meanwhile, wash, peel, and grate the potatoes on a coarse grater.
-
7.
Peel and finely dice the onion. Squeeze excess water from the thawed spinach and chop finely.
-
8.
Toast the pine nuts in a small non-stick pan without oil and set aside.
-
9.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet and sauté the onion until translucent.
-
10.
Add the potatoes and spinach, cooking until liquid evaporates. Stir in remaining parsley and paprika; season with salt and pepper.
-
11.
Fold in the coarse cream cheese, crumble the sheep cheese over the pan, and gently mix it in. Let cool.
-
12.
Knead the dough again, divide into eight equal portions, and roll each into a pizza-like disc about 12 cm in diameter.
-
13.
Place one portion of potato-spinach mixture in the center of each disc, sprinkle with pine nuts, and fold into half-moon pockets.
-
14.
Press the edges firmly together and brush the pockets with condensed milk.
-
15.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, arrange the pockets on it, and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (180°C fan) for about 20 minutes.
