Sweet Potato Samosas

Recipe by: Dietitians of Canada

Samosas are a traditional Indian dish that is essentially another version of a pasty, empanada or any other dough-covered savory treat. It usually comes with ground lamb and peas or white potatoes and peas and is always fried. This version uses sweet potatoes, and we bake instead of fry them.
