  • A meat-and-potato pie can be a whole dinner on its own — it's the main course and the side dish in one. It's also a great way to use up mashed potatoes if you happen to have some left over. If you don't have any, boil peeled, diced potatoes in salted water until tender. Mash them with one egg and the butter. Add the flour and work it into a dough with a fork (or use a mixer with dough hooks). The dough should be fairly thick. Press it into your baking dish, smoothing it out and building up a rim around the edge — this looks nice and keeps the filling in place. Put the dish in the fridge while you make the meat layer. Peel, wash, and finely chop the onion (dice or julienne). Sauté it in a little vegetable oil. Once it softens and turns golden, add the ground meat — use any kind you like. Break it up with a spatula into small pieces and season with salt and pepper. Slice the tomato into rings or half-rings, whichever you prefer. Take the dough out of the fridge, lay down a layer of tomato, then the meat on top, smoothing it out for a nice finish. For the topping, whisk together the sour cream, tomato paste (or a tomato sauce), and two eggs in a cup, seasoning with salt or your favorite spices if you like. Pour it evenly over the pie so it soaks in with no dry spots. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 40–45 minutes. Five minutes before it's done, pull it out, top with a thick layer of coarsely grated cheese, and return it to the oven to brown. Garnish the finished pie with a sprig of rosemary and serve. Enjoy!
