Remove from heat and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until cool.

  • Mix cilantro and green chile peppers into the potato and beef mixture. Place approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture onto each phyllo sheet. Fold sheets into triangles, pressing edges together with moistened fingers.
  • In small batches, fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
