About this dish

Algerian bourek is usually made up of thin pastry sheets, known as "dyoul" in Algeria, which can be purchased from stores or made at home. These sheets are then filled with a blend of mashed potatoes, chopped onions, and spices like cumin and paprika. In addition to the potato filling, Algerian bourek may also include other variations such as tomatoes with minced meat, shrimp, chicken, or ground beef with cheese. The pastry is then folded into a triangular shape and either baked or deep fried until golden and crispy. Bourek comes in many different shapes and sizes, including triangles, rectangles, and spirals.
