- 100 g Raw ground beef

Instructions
Boil the potatoes
Cut peeled potatoes into even chunks and cover with the measured boiling water and salt. Simmer from 20–25 minutes until fully tender; drain and discard water, then mash. Use the scaled ingredient list for 1–8 servings; step quantities describe the 2-serving base. Halve every allowance for one serving, multiply by four for eight, and keep the same thickness and per-batch checks. Cups are 240 ml, tablespoons 15 ml and teaspoons 5 ml.

Divide filling among strips
Cut enough ready-cooked lavash for six strips about 8 × 30 cm. Divide all filling evenly among them; half makes 3 triangles, fourfold 24. Fixed 2 tbsp portions are not a guaranteed yield.

Fry and check the centre
Use suitable deep stable cookware with ample headroom, not a deep oil pool in a flat skillet. Hold oil at 170–175°C and fry small batches, checking from 3 minutes per side. Remove a triangle and verify its centre reaches 74°C; continue as needed.
