Mother’s Swirl Borek

It’s a classic borek type in here. Potatoes, spinach, cheese, leek, or a combination of cheese and a vegetable can be used as filling for the borek. I cheated here and used store bought yufka (phyllo pastry). Normally mom and the other ladies doing this can roll their dough very thinly and make yufkas out of it.
