Note

Ensure the oil temperature is consistent for even frying. If the oil is too cool, the pies will absorb too much oil; if too hot, they may burn before cooking through.

For a lighter version, you can bake the pies at 400ðF (200ðC) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, though they will not be as crispy as deep-fried.

Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork filling reaches an internal temperature of 165ðF (74ðC) for food safety.

Leftover pies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
