How to Make Rezika's Cheese Potato Bourek Algerian Spring Rolls

  1. Boil the potatoes until tender, then mash well. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, grated cheese, finely chopped gherkins (or olives), and chopped parsley. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Lay out spring roll wrappers on a clean surface. Place a spoonful of the potato mixture in the center of each wrapper.
  4. Fold the sides of the wrapper inwards, then tightly roll up from the bottom to create a spring roll shape.
  5. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully fry the bourek rolls, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes per side).
  6. Remove the bourek from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Algerian Bourek!
