Potato Meat Pie Recipe | How To Make Potato Pie

Today I'm gonna show you how to make this delicious potato and meat pie. First thing we're gonna do we're gonna chop our potatoes and add into cold water just like this. The smaller they the faster they will cook and we're gonna boil these for about 15 to 20 minutes. What I usually do I get rid of the white foam that forms on top and just spoon it out with your ladle and make sure you boiling your potatoes on medium heat. Once your potatoes are done you're gonna to just put them in the bowl and they'll already be soft you just want to mash them into a nice puree just like this then you're going to go ahead and add your softened butter and mix everything together nice and well it's going to melt pretty quickly and will be quite easy to mix this batter then go ahead and add your egg and mix everything together one more time just like so i usually just use a spoon but we're gonna switch to a whisk so there's just more even mixture over here I've got all my dry ingredients add those in and just mix everything together again you can go ahead and now use your spoon the actual dough will start to become thicker and easier to work with and then I usually switch to my hand and knead the dough in the bowl with my hand of course you can also use a stand mixer with dough hook attachment and knead the dough until it becomes nice and soft and pliable just like this this process will take you know five to six minutes or so so be patient you want to knead it until you feel the dough is nice and soft and is pliable just like this and doesn't stick to your hands take your ring and get ready for your dough you're going to roll out your dough as thin as possible because this really is important so whatever ring you're going to be using or a mold you need to roll out the amount for that specific ring so you might have some dough left over if you're using a smaller ring it's really up to you now once i've rolled out my dough it's going to be very easy to pick it up just be careful we're going to place the ring back onto the tray and then add your dough right inside fold it through and glue it basically to your mold work with your hands and just press gently on top of your mold go around the edges make sure it's nice and sealed and even just like this we're gonna set this aside while we prepare our filling in a pan add some oil and then add your chopped onions then add a little bit of butter and just fry the onions for good five to seven minutes until they're nice and sauteed feel free to add any seasoning that you like i'm adding salt and pepper and just keep cooking your onions after five minutes or so you can go ahead and add your meat i'm using pork like nice and fatty pork but you can use any meat that you like bear in mind the pork makes this pie a lot juicier and just mix everything together one more time and cook this for further five to ten minutes or until your meat is fully cooked next we're going to make our fillings so in a bowl add your milk then add your tomato paste or you can use ketchup up mix everything together until it's nice and smooth and then go ahead and add your eggs and mix everything one more time then into your meat add your chopped peppers and mix everything together one more time peppers are optional i just really like them once your filling is done you're going to go ahead and add your filling into your pastry just spoon it all over inside with all the juice that you might have because we've got nice strong pastry just add everything nice and even and then go ahead and add your milky mixture we made earlier add everything in make sure it's nice and covered and it should look just like this we're going to place it in the oven and bake this i'll leave all the in all the directions in your recipes after it's been baked i like to add extra cheese so you're going to add some cheese this is optional and then place it back in the oven to crisp up this pastry takes a while to cook so be patient once it's cooked you're going to take it out of the oven leave it to cool down and then gently run a knife around the edges and the pie will come out pretty easily so don't worry about it just leave it to cool down a little bit so it can set and yeah just the mold will come out nice and easy and again it will be very hot inside so leave it to cool down a bit i recommend leaving the pie in the fridge so it sets if you cut it right away it might leak out a little bit with the juice but it's absolutely delicious and gorgeous and you're gonna love it it's very meaty and with a nice thin potato crust i hope you enjoyed this recipe
