Crispy Potato Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Combine flour, sugar and salt in a bowl; cut in the shortening and butter until crumbly. Add water and mix lightly with a fork. Shape dough into a ball; divide in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half to fit a 9-in. pie plate. For filling, combine potatoes, onion, salt, pepper and parsley. Spoon into crust; dot with butter. Roll out remaining dough to fit top of pie; place over filling. Seal and flute edges; make several slits in top crust. Bake at 375° for 1 hour. Pour cream into slits in crust; return to oven for 25 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Add the potatoes to a large saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Add the baking soda and 1 tablespoon salt to the water. Cover, place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Uncover and continue to boil until the potatoes give easily when pierced with the tip of a knife, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and set the strainer over the top of the pan for a few minutes so the outsides of the potatoes can dry.
• Dump the potatoes onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and toss with the garlic, thyme and rosemary until the potatoes are completely coated in the oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Using a small juice glass or glass bowl, smash each potato firmly but gently. (You want to just crack the skins and flatten slightly while keeping the potatoes mostly intact.)
• Roast until the bottoms of the potatoes are deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the potatoes using a spatula. Roast until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on both sides, an additional 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter with a metal spatula. Serve while hot.

Steps:

• Cook potatoes, slice 1/4 in. thick.
• Mash lightly just until broken up into several pieces.
• Stir in buttermilk and scallions and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat just enough oil to coat bottom of non stick skillet.
• When hot enough, pour in potato mixture and pat in evenly.
• Turn the heat to moderate and cook until the bottom of the pie is crisp and browned.
• Slide out onto a plate and cut into wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Heavily oil a 9-inch metal pie pan. Squeeze out excess liquid from grated potatoes and place in large bowl. Mix in salt And egg until well combined. Press potatoes into pie pan and up the sides. If mixture is too sticky, dip fingers in flour. Bake crust for 30 minutes or until it begins to turn golden brown, brushing occasionally with oil.
• In a medium skillet melt butter over medium heat and cook onion until tender. Stir in the mushrooms and cook until golden brown.
• Spread grated cheese over bottom of potato crust. Spread out the onion and mushroom mixture over the cheese. In a medium bowl, whisk or beat together with a fork the eggs and the cream. Season mixture with salt and pepper and pour over vegetables and cheese.
• Reduce oven heat to 375 degrees F and bake for 40 minutes or until firm. Allow quiche to cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Soften the celery, onion, carrots, bay and 1 thyme sprig in a casserole with 1 tbsp oil and the butter for 10 mins. Stir in the flour, followed by the purée, Worcestershire sauce and stock cubes.
• Gradually stir in 600ml hot water, then tip in the beef and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook in the oven for 2 hrs 30 mins, then uncover and cook for 30 mins -1 hr more until the meat is really tender and sauce thickened.
• Meanwhile, cook potatoes in a pan of boiling water until they're not done but about ¾ of the way there.
• Transfer meat to a baking dish. Slice spuds into 1cm thick rounds and gently toss with seasoning, the remaining oil and thyme leaves. Layer on the beef, scattering with the cheese as you layer. You can cover and chill the pie now for 1 day, or freeze for up to 3 months.
• Increase oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and bake for 30-40 mins until golden and crispy, and sauce bubbling if the dish went in cold. Serve with peas.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a non-stick pan over a high heat. Add beef and cook for 10 mins until browned all over, then remove from pan. Cook onion for 7 mins until softened. Stir through mushrooms, then cook for 3 mins more until golden. Stir in tomato paste and flour and cook for 1 min more. Pour in wine and beef stock, bring to a simmer. Add beef back to pan. Cook, uncovered, over a gentle heat for around 2 hrs until meat is really tender, topping up with water if needed. Pour mixture into a 2 litre baking dish.
• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5 and bring a pan of lightly salted water to the boil. Cook the potatoes for 10 mins until beginning to soften. Cool under a running tap, then coarsely grate. Sprinkle over the beef and dot with butter. Pop in the oven and cook for 30 mins until the crust is nice and crispy.
