Preparation

• Mix filling: Squeeze grated potatoes by hand to remove excess water. Combine with onion, oil, paprika, salt, pepper, parsley (if using), and water to make a juicy but not soupy mix.
• Prep pan & oven: Heat to 200°C / 400°F. Brush a 28–30 cm round pan (or 23×33 cm/9×13 in) with oil.
• Roll ropes: Lay 1–2 phyllo sheets, brush lightly with oil. Spread a thin strip of potato filling along a long edge; roll into a snug rope. Repeat to make 5–6 ropes.
• Coil: Place the first rope in the center and coil it; add remaining ropes end-to-end to fill the pan. Brush the top, drizzle sparkling water, and sprinkle sesame if using.
• Bake: Bake 35–45 min until deep golden and crisp. Rest 10 min before cutting into wedges.
• Dip (optional): Stir yogurt with garlic and a pinch of salt.
