By Rachel Gurjar

In this fun and easy Diwali snack, spiced potatoes, cheddar, and cilantro are encased in pastry, then baked until crisp and golden brown. Once baked, the cheese melts into the spiced potato mash, creating a soft, savory interior. Thanks to store-bought puff pastry, they’re easy to make for a crowd.
