Potato and Chorizo Empanadas: Step-by-Step

Steps Instructions
1 In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Slowly add in the warm water and olive oil, stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes, then cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2 In a skillet, cook the chorizo over medium heat until it's browned and cooked through. Remove the chorizo from the skillet and set it aside.
3 In the same skillet, add the onions and garlic, and cook until softened. Then, add the potatoes and cook until they're tender.
4 Add the chorizo back to the skillet and stir in the cumin, salt, and pepper.
5 Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut the dough into circles using a round cutter or a drinking glass.
6 Place a spoonful of the chorizo and potato mixture onto one half of each dough circle. Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg, and fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal.
7 Heat a skillet with oil to 375°F. Fry the empanadas until they're golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
8 Serve warm and enjoy!
