1/4 cup beef broth
2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed

TO MAKE THE FILLING:
Combine beef, green onion, onion, jalapeno pepper, garlic, salt and pepper in medium bowl; mix well. Stir in potatoes and enough of the beef broth to moisten and hold mixture together.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Roll out each pastry sheet to 12x12-inch square on lightly floured surface. Cut each square into nine 4-inch squares.

Place rounded tablespoonful of filling on each square. Fold over to form triangle; seal edges with fork. Place on baking sheet.
