Steps:
- Grate the potatoes into a medium bowl and set aside. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent. Add the ground meat and brown it, separating with a flat spatula as necessary to make small bits. If you are using ground turkey, you may find it helpful to add more oil and even a few tablespoons of milk to keep the turkey form drying out as it cooks. Add the potato, spices, salt and pepper. Stir to incorporate. Remove from the heat and let cool. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Use pre-cut empanada rounds, or your own home-made empanada rounds. On a floured work surface, set out several empanada rounds. Put about 2 tablespoons filling in the center, of each round and place a slice of egg and an olive slice on top of the meat mixture. Seal by folding the empanada shell over into a half moon shape (wet edges of one half with a few drops of water) Seal by pressing around the edges firmly with your finger. Cup the filling inside the empanada shell with your hands, making the filling inside kind of ball together. Then fold the edges over, almost as you would a pie-crust, twisting up one small edge, and pressing down firmly, then repeating the action until you have reached the other end of the empanada. This method is called repulgue, you can watch the video of how to do it here. Alternatively, press the edges all around with a fork, making a fork pattern. Place the empanadas about an inch apart on a floured cookie sheet. Brush the tops with a beaten egg. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until crust outside is golden.
