Ingredients

  • 250 g waxy potatoes
  • Salt
  • 150 g smoked eel
  • 1 tbsp sour cream
  • pepper (ground)
  • a pinch of hot paprika powder
  • a pinch of ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • a splash of lemon juice
  • vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 300 g strudel dough (refrigerated)
  • 1 tbsp chives ribbon
  • chili flakes

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Wash, peel, roughly cube the potatoes and boil in salted water for about 20 minutes.

  2. 2.

    Meanwhile remove skin from the eel, debone it, and cut into small pieces.

  3. 3.

    Drain the potatoes, let them steam dry, then mash with a potato masher. Add the eel, sour cream, a little salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and butter. Mix well and season with lemon juice.

  4. 4.

    Pour plenty of oil into a tall pot (about 5 cm deep) and heat to about 170°C (small bubbles appear on a wooden spoon). Roll out the strudel dough and cut into four squares of 10–12 cm sides. Wrap each square around a cornette mold and fry in hot oil for about 2 minutes until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper and remove the mold. Repeat with remaining dough pieces.

  5. 5.

    Fill the purée (e.g., with a pastry bag) into the cornettes and serve sprinkled with chives and chili.
