Ingredients
- 1 medium potato, cooked and chopped small 7oz/200g
- 1 cup chorizo sausage, cooked and chopped small 2oz/57g
- ½ medium red bell pepper, diced small
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 recipe puff pastry or a box of store-bought

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix together the potato, chorizo, red bell pepper, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust the salt if necessary.
- Roll out puff pastry to ¼ inch(.65cm) thickness and cut 16 squares with a 3 ½ inch (9 cm) square cutter. If you are using store-bought puff pastry it is already rolled.
- Place 8 squares on the prepared baking sheet. Add about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center of each circle and brush the edges with the egg wash.
- Cover the pies with the top piece of pastry and press the edges with your fingers or a fork to seal. Cut a few slits on top for venting.
- Brush the tops with the egg wash.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm.
- Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Rewarm in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 10 minutes.
