Instructions

In a bowl, toss potato slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Layer potatoes over the cheese in overlapping circles or rows.
-
Fold dough edges over the filling and pleat gently.

Notes

For best texture, slice potatoes evenly and avoid stacking them too thick.
-
Use a mandoline for quick, uniform slices.
-
Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the oven for best results.
