Add butter; pulse 4 times or until mixture resembles coarse meal. With processor on, slowly add 1/2 cup ice water and vinegar through food chute, processing just until combined (do not form a ball). Gently press mixture into 2 (5-inch) circles on plastic wrap; cover. Chill for 1 hour.

   Remove dough from refrigerator, and halve each disc. Place 1 dough portion between 2 sheets of wax paper. Roll into a 1/4-inch thickness; cut 2 (3-inch) circles with a biscuit cutter. Repeat procedure with the remaining dough portions. Combine excess dough, roll to 1/4-inch-thickness, and cut 4 (3-inch) circles with a biscuit cutter. Working with 1 circle at a time (cover remaining circles with a damp towel to prevent drying), spoon 1 tablespoon potato mixture into center of each circle; fold dough over filling. Press edges together with a fork to seal. Place empanadita on a large baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Repeat with remaining dough circles and potato mixture. Combine remaining 1 tablespoon water and egg white. Lightly brush tops of empanaditas with egg mixture. Bake at 425u00b0 for 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
