Ingredients

Step cooking

1. First, peel the potatoes (1 kg). We wash each potato well under running water and put it in a pan. To prepare faster, cut large into 2-3 parts. Pour potatoes with water so that the liquid completely covers the tubers.
   
2. We put on medium heat and bring to a boil. After boiling, salt to taste. Cook until tender.
   
3. When the potatoes become soft and pierced with a fork, boil milk, remove the foam. We pour out most of the water from potatoes, leave a little at the bottom. We begin to turn mashed potatoes into mashed potatoes. First we squeeze it well, and only then we start adding milk and butter (to taste), but make sure that the puree does not become liquid, it should hold its shape well and be viscous. Put in a plate for cooling.
   
4. At the same time as mashed potatoes, we also cook meat. Rinse under running water 400 g chicken fillet. Drain the meat a little (let drain). We cut the meat into small pieces up to 1 cm in size.
   
5. We put a frying pan on the stove, pour a little vegetable oil and warm it up well. Put the chopped meat in a pan and fry until golden brown.
   
6. While the meat is fried, peel the onion, wash it and cut into quarters of the rings.
   
7. We also put onions in a pan for meat. Salt and pepper to taste. Fry together until the onions are soft. We put it in a separate container for cooling, and so that the glass has excess oil.
   
8. Cut the pickles (4 pcs.), Best of all into strips, and put them in a bowl.
   
9. 500 g of puff pastry (not puff and yeast!), We divide into 2 parts, so that it is convenient to roll out. Sprinkle the working surface with flour a little so that the dough does not stick. Roll out a piece of dough 2 mm thick. We try to form the correct square, because the blanks for the boats we have are square.
   
10. The resulting square is divided into four parts - also a square. We cut off uneven edges.
    
11. In each square we make an incision from two opposite sides, parallel to the edge.
    
12. Now we spread the filling - first mashed potatoes, on top the meat with onions, and the last pickles.
    
13. We form a boat: on the one hand we tighten the edge with a slit a little and we “throw” a thin part of the dough between the cut and the edge through the filling. We do the same with the second notched edge.
    
14. The sharp angles of the boat are well plucked so that juice does not leak through them.
    
15. We cover the baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out the boats in a distance from each other.
    
16. With a whisk in a separate bowl, beat one egg. We grease them with our boats very abundantly.
    
17. We send the boats to a well preheated oven at 180 ° C for 20 minutes.At this time, we rub the cheese on a fine grater. After 20 minutes we take out the boats, sprinkle them with cheese and put them back in the oven for another 15-20 minutes.
    
18. That's all! Puff boats are ready! Enjoy your meal!
