Made these for the first time yesterday with the masa. They were awesome, I will be making them again and varying the filling that goes in them.

Ingredients and spices that need to be Get to make Empanadas:

1. 2 cup masa
2. 1 1/2 cup water
3. 3 medium potatoes
4. 1 lb picadillo (Puerto Rican meat filling, or filling of choice)
5. shredded sharp cheddar (optional)
6. vegetable oil

Instructions to make to make Empanadas

1. Peel the potatoes and boil them whole until fork tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
2. If you don't know what picadillo is you can find recipes all over the net for it. It's a Puerto Rican meat mixture and is amazing. Anyways, mix the water and masa together well. If it's too dry add a little more water if it's too wet add a little more masa. You don't want the dough to be sticky or crumbly.
3. Dice the potatoes up then add it to the picadillo mixture.
4. Grab about a golf ball sized piece of the masa, roll it into a ball then place on a piece of parchment paper, place another piece of parchment paper on top. Roll the dough out to about the thickness of a corn tortilla, maintaining a round shape. This process would be much faster with a tortilla press, however I do not own one so this is my method.
5. Place about a 1/4 cup of the filling onto one half of the dough, fold the other half over and pinch seams together or use a fork. I personally don't do either, but it's hard to explain how I do it,it almost looks like it's twisting around the edge.
6. In a skillet of oil fry the empanada over medium high heat until golden on each side. Serve with your favorite meat and rice and enjoy!
