Place the mushrooms in a bowl, cover with boiling water and leave for half an hour.  Drain and chop the mushrooms.

Mash the potatoes, add the oil, garlic, parsley, cinnamon, salt, pepper and mushrooms.  Mix, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Place a large spoonful of mixture on each sheet of filo pastry.  If using eggs, make a well in the center of the potato, add the egg yolk, and fold in half.

Heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry each pastry for a minute or two on each side until golden.

Serve warm with a vegetable salad.
