Step 1

Thaw filo dough for 8 hours or overnight in the refrigerator, then another 2 hours at room temperature, or thaw puff pastry sheet for 2 hours at room temperature or 6 hours in the refrigerator.

Step 2

Boil a medium saucepan of salted water, then add the potatoes. Continue to boil, covered, for 10-20 minutes, or until potato cubes are soft. Drain potatoes and leave in colander.

Step 3

In the saucepan, melt the butter or margarine or heat the oil on medium. Add the garlic and cook until browned. Add the potatoes and mash. Add the milk, feta cheese, cayenne, and nutmeg. Combine. Salt to taste. Add the egg and mix one more time.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare two baking sheets lined with parchment paper.

Step 5

To assemble the rolls with phyllo dough, prepare a dry, flat work surface like a large cutting board. Lay one sheet of dough on the work surface and brush with melted butter. Lay a second sheet onto the first, and brush again with butter. Keep the remaining sheets covered with plastic wrap and a moist towel. Cut the layered sheets in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4 pieces so you have a total of 8 rectangles.

Step 6

Place a scant tablespoon of the potato-feta filling at the short end of each rectangle. Roll each rectangle a few turns, tuck in the edges, and continue to roll into a cigar shape. Place each "cigar" onto the prepared baking sheet seam side down. Repeat with remaining phyllo dough and filling.

Step 7

If using puff pastry, prepare a work surface with a good layer of flour. Unfold the puff pastry sheet onto the work surface and cut into fourths. Place one of the quarter-sheets on the work surface and sprinkle flour over the top. Roll out to about ¼" thick and cut into 4 rectangles.

Step 8

Place a tablespoon of filling at a short end of each rectangle. Roll the rectangle like a cigar. When finished, tuck in the sides.

Step 9

Place phyllo/puff pastry cigars on a prepared baking pan with the seams of the tucked-in sides facing down. If you used puff pastry, brush with the beaten egg and water mixture. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 10

Serve cigars with spicy harissa or with olive oil mixed with za'atar for dipping.
