Falagones
Why I Love This Recipe
My aunts and cousins have made this recipe for years and years. It is our version of a calzone, which we never heard of when we were growing up.
Ingredients You'll Need
Dough
5 cups flour
1 cup oil
1 cup water
1 egg
salt
1/4 cup Romano cheese
Filling
4 or 5 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 large green pepper, seeded and sliced
2 medium onions, sliced
salt and pepper
paprika
fresh or dried parsley
Olive oil
Directions
Whisk the oil, water, egg, salt and cheese. Make a well with the flour and pour the oil mixture in the middle. Mix like you would make any dough.
In a large bowl, mix the filling ingredients and pour about a cup of olive oil over and let it set.
Divide the dough into 5 pieces and roll one out at a time, like a pie crust. Put the potatoe filling in the middle and then roll up the sides and crimp with a fork. They will look like a large ravioli or pirogi.
Brush each falagone with a beaten egg, and prick top with a fork.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
