Potato Boreka is a savory pastry originating from Sephardic and Middle Eastern cuisines, popular for its flaky texture and comforting filling. Typically made with thin layers of phyllo dough or puff pastry, it is filled with seasoned mashed potatoes, often mixed with onions, spices, and occasionally herbs for added flavor. The pastry is brushed with oil or butter and baked until golden, yielding a crisp exterior. While potato boreka is a satisfying option, its nutritional profile depends on the preparation method. The filling offers dietary fiber and essential nutrients from the potatoes, but its healthfulness decreases with added butter, high-calorie pastry layers, and excess sodium. Opting for whole grain dough and minimal oil can make it lighter. Potato Boreka is enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or breakfast food, showcasing the rich culinary traditions of its origin with a balance of indulgence and comfort.
