- In another large pan, combine the water, milk, broth cubes, mashed potato, and butter
- Bring to a boil
- Add all the all-purpose flour at once, stirring vigorously until the dough pulls away from the bottom of the pan
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased clean surface
- Knead the dough until it is smooth and let it cool slightly
- Flatten portions of the dough in your hands, place a portion of the filling inside, and shape it into a "coxinha" cone form

- Heat oil in a deep pan and fry the "coxinha" until golden brown on all sides
- Remove the fried "coxinha" and drain excess oil on paper towels
