Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma loved Cornish pasties, little meat-and-potato turnovers that originated in Cornwall, England. To turn this recipe into a bigger version of those pasties, she substituted 1 cup chopped cooked potatoes for the celery. She heated the potato mixture until the water was hot, then added the flour mixture and proceeded as the recipe directs.
