Homemade Phyllo and a Potato Pie

"Today we learn how to make phyllo (jufka), and a Balkan potato pie (pita krompiruša) from scratch. Balkan pies are baked pastries with a filling, similar to empanadas, rolls, and pasties. First, a quick refresher on pita. It’s pronounced “pea-tah” with a heavy ‘t,’ and is not related to pita bread. So what is it then? Pita is a widespread traditional Balkan delicacy. It’s a baked pastry, usually not sweet, made out of phyllo dough that’s been stuffed with an uncooked filling and then baked together. The filling is usually made out of veggies, cheese, meat, or a combination."
