Ingredients with Measurements:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 small onion, peeled and grated
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Special Equipment Needed:

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Slowly add the warm water and olive oil, stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for 5 minutes, then cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a circle about 8 inches in diameter.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the grated potatoes and onion. Spread the mixture evenly over each circle of dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle with feta cheese and parsley.
4. Fold the dough in half over the filling, pressing the edges together to seal.
5. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Gözleme and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Serve warm.
