Pie with potatoes and minced meat in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the necessary ingredients for the dough. Butter should be cold, so you need to take it out of the refrigerator at the last moment, just before adding it.

2. Step 2:

   

   Sift flour. In the bowl of a blender, put the flour, cold butter and salt cut into pieces.

3. Step 3:

   

   Whisk everything into fine crumbs.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add egg and sour cream.

5. Step 5:

   

   Quickly knead a pliable tender dough. You need to knead quickly so that the heat from the palms does not melt the butter.

6. Step 6:

   

   Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

7. Step 7:

   

   While the dough is cooling, prepare the filling.

8. Step 8:

   

   Peel the potatoes and cut into small cubes. Coarsely chopped potatoes with a high probability will not bake, while the dough will begin to burn from the bottom. Therefore, immediately cut the potatoes smaller.

10. Step 9:

    

    You can use any stuffing. I had a mixed pork and beef. But minced meat from one type of meat is also suitable, as well as chicken or turkey. Choose the one that you like best, but with a moderate amount of fat. If there is too much fat in the minced meat, then a lot of moisture will be released during baking, which will soak the dough from below..

11. Step 10:

    

    Add minced meat and sour cream to the potatoes.

12. Step 11:

    

    Season the filling with salt, pepper and mix well.

13. Step 12:

    

    Divide the cooled dough into two unequal parts. Roll out most of it into a circle larger than the diameter of the baking dish. Put the dough into a mold and make high sides. I have a shape diameter of 20 cm, but you can take more - up to 26 cm. It's just that your pie won't be that high. To make it easier to take out the pie, I line the mold with strips of baking paper. Pulling them then you can easily take the cake out of the mold without damaging it.

14. Step 13:

    

    Put the filling on the dough and smooth it out.

15. Step 14:

    

    Roll out the second part of the dough into a circle equal to the diameter of the baking dish.

16. Step 15:

    

    Cover the filling with a second layer of dough. Pinch the edges thoroughly. In the center, make a hole for steam to escape. Place the pie in a preheated 180 °C oven and bake for about 1 hour or a little longer. Periodically check the pie so that the dough does not burn from the bottom and sides. Focus on your oven. If the juice in the center of the pie is transparent, then the meat is ready.

17. Step 16:

    

    Remove the finished cake from the mold and cut into pieces. It can be served hot, warm and cold. Enjoy your meal!
