Do you like a pie with meat and potatoes? For sure, your answer will be positive. Do not love him can only those who have never tried such a delicacy. This divine taste of crispy crust, soft as if melting in the mouth potato and small juicy pieces of meat together form a delicious food, once you try it, you will forever remain his admirer.

How to cook a pie with potatoes and meat? In fact, the recipes for its preparation are many. Probably, in every family and every housewife has its own secrets of baking this pie. I will reveal to you my secret of his preparation.

Strange as it sounds, but the pie with meat and potatoes taught me to cook my father, who is considered in our family the best cook and cook. First you need to knead yeast dough. Since I have not yet mastered this difficult science, I always buy dough in the store. You just need to choose a good manufacturer. But I get a filling for a pie with potatoes and meat according to my father's recipe.

So let's look at the basic stages of preparing a potato pie with meat:

• We cook potatoes. Perhaps this is the longest procedure. On a pie with meat and potatoes of medium size (on a sheet of oven), you need 4-5 large potatoes. We wash them under running water, clean, then start cutting. I usually cut potatoes for pie with very thin, but wide slices of a thickness of not more than 1 mm. This is quite a painstaking and time-consuming work. If you want to finish this business faster, you can cut potatoes with strips or straws. But then there is a high probability that it will not be baked and will crunch. After the potatoes are sliced, pour it with cold salted water so that it does not turn black and have absorbed the desired amount of salt.

• We choose meat stuffing. A pie with meat and potatoes will have a completely different unlike taste depending on what kind of meat you will be using. If you take a chicken, you get a very delicate, low-fat, dietary product. If you take pork, then the pie will turn out juicy, tasty and quite high-calorie. I personally do not recommend using one beef, as it is hard and dry for pie. But a potato pie with minced pork and beef in a proportion of 50:50 will be simply delicious.

• Prepare the filling. The selected meat must be thoroughly washed, cut into small pieces up to 1 cm in size, or scroll the mince from it. Cut the meat should be salt and pepper to taste.

• Mix the potatoes and meat. Most housewives skip this stage of work, laying out meat and potatoes separately. I recommend pre-mixing potatoes with meat in one deep saucepan so that they soaked with each other's juices, combined their delicious flavors. Then the pie with meat and potatoes will be especially tasty. Do not forget to add there 2-3 leaves of a laurel and a head of finely chopped onions.

• Form the pie. For this, we roll out a large circle or square from the dough (it all depends on the shape that you will use when baking). We put it in a frying pan, oiled, bend the edges. Then we begin to spread the filling. We do this evenly, distributing potatoes and meat throughout the entire volume of the mold. Then roll out the top crust for our cake. This circle will be somewhat smaller than the lower one. It is also desirable to make it thinner. We cover the pie, we patch the edges. In order to make a pie with potatoes and meat well, you need to make a small hole in the middle. If low-fat meat was used, 1-2 tablespoons of sunflower oil can be added to this hole, or put 1 tablespoon of butter on top of this hole.

• We put the pie in a preheated oven for 30-60 minutes. Here everything depends on the heating properties of your oven or miracle stove. My pie with potatoes and meat is baked in a conventional gas oven for about 45 minutes. For 5-10 minutes before the pie is ready, it is necessary to grease it with a brush dipped in sunflower oil, so that the crust becomes more tender, crispy and shiny.

That's all! Cake with potatoes and meat is ready! Bon Appetit!
