Potatoe Burek - Bosnian Potatoe Spirals - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    400 g potatoes (in small cubes, raw)
    250 g phyllo pastry sheets
    1 large onion (finely chopped)
    2 garlic cloves (minced)
    1 teaspoon allspice (more or less, according to taste)
    4 tablespoons melted butter
    oil
    salt and pepper
Preparation
    Heat oil in a non stick pan and add small potatoe cubes. Let fry until they are crispy and brown.
    After a couple of minutes (before potatoe cubes go brown) add onion and garlic. Don't let them burn.(you can add a bit of water to prevent that from happening).
    Add allspice, salt and pepper to taste.
    Butter a dish/pyrex/ with one TB of meltet butter.
    Take one phyllo sheet, brush with meltet butter, and put another pastry sheet on top of it.
    Place potatoe filling on one end of the phyllo sheets.
    Roll up like a cigar and form a spiral.
    Do so with the rest of sheets and filling.
    Place burek spirals into form and brush with the rest of the melted butter.
    Let bake at 180\u00b0C until golden, crispy (about 15 to 20 minutes).
    Enjoy with salad and/or yoghurt sauce.
