Great-grandmother's potato and meat pie: a delicious homemade recipe

Everyone knows that potatoes and meat go well, no matter what nutritionists say. And if this tandem becomes the filling for a lush, aromatic cake, then in the end we get an excellent dish that can decorate a festive table or replace a full dinner.

Step-by-step recipe for potato and meat pie

This recipe has been known for a long time (at least I found it in my great-grandmother's notes), but it seems that now it is taking on a second wind. Meat and Potato Pie is easy to make and available in a variety of products, so we can afford it almost every day.

For the test, you will need:

• 300 g flour;
• 2 eggs;
• 100 g butter or margarine;
• 200 ml sour cream;
• 5 g baking powder (baking powder);
• 5 g turmeric.

You also need to make the filling. For her, take:

• 400 g minced pork;
• 1 chicken fillet;
• 1 potato;
• 2 onions;
• salt and pepper to taste.

1. Get a comfortable bowl of the right size. Pour sour cream and melted butter into it, mix them. Then add the egg, salt and mix again.

   

   Toss sour cream, butter and egg in a bowl

2. Pour the sifted flour and baking powder into the mass, stirring constantly.

   

   Be sure to sift the flour for the dough.

3. As a result, you should have a firm, but soft and elastic dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap and leave it in the refrigerator for half an hour.

   

   The finished dough needs to lie in the cold for half an hour

4. In the meantime, get busy with the filling. Cut the chicken fillet into small pieces, the potatoes into cubes, finely chop the onion.

   

   Cut raw potatoes as small as possible so that they bake well in the oven

5. Place all prepared foods in a deep bowl, add minced meat, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.

   

   Prepare the pie filling

6. Grind the table with flour, remove the dough from the refrigerator, remove the film from it. The dough must be divided into 2 parts and rolled out so that one of them is slightly larger than the other.

   

   Roll the dough into two layers

7. Transfer the larger layer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Arrange the filling and cover with a smaller layer on top.

   

   Shape a pie by placing the filling between the layers of dough

8. Pinch the edges of the cake to form a pigtail. Puncture the top with a fork.

   

   Be sure to punch holes in the cake with a fork so that the steam from the filling comes out.

9. Brush the surface with a beaten egg and turmeric for a nice, vibrant color.

   

   Add some turmeric to the egg to brighten the crust color.

10. Place the cake in an oven preheated to 180 ° C for 40–45 minutes. Then remove it and serve hot or slightly cooled.

    

    The finished cake can be served immediately

By the way, novice housewives often neglect the need to make punctures in the top layer of a closed pie with a filling. The first time I baked this potato and meat pie, I made this mistake too. Either I forgot, or I really decided that it was useless. So, my pie came out of the oven torn apart, as if after an explosion. The taste did not suffer from this at all, but the appearance did not in any way resemble what it should be. Punctures in the dough would provide a free escape of steam from the heated filling, and there would be no "explosion".

What other stuffing could you make?

In this pie, the main ingredient for the filling is still potatoes. And it goes well not only with meat, but also with most other products. If minced meat and brisket are not at hand, you can replace them:

• fried mushrooms;
• stewed vegetables (onions with carrots);
• boiled and stewed beans;
• grated cheese;
• fish;

• chopped sausages or sausage.

  

  Almost anything can serve as a filling for such a cake, for example, mushrooms

And if nothing was found at all, except for potatoes, that's okay. You can do it only by adding more onions (it gives the meaty flavor) and spices.
