In this article, we will show you how to cook large potato pies. Although this dish is prepared from simple products, it requires some skill and culinary skills. As the filling, as you guessed from the name, potatoes are used, cut into thin slices. After trying to cook according to a traditional recipe, you can experiment with the ingredients. In order for the potato pies to turn out delicious, and the filling does not remain raw, they need to be cooked for at least fifty minutes. Therefore, we stock up on patience and the following ingredients:

• 1, 5 cups of milk;

• 

  1, 5-2 teaspoons yeast;

• 4 tablespoons of sugar;
• 2, 5 cups sifted wheat flour for the dough and a little for dusting;
• 30 grams of butter;
• 1 egg;
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil;
• 1 teaspoon s alt.

To make the filling when cooking potato pies, take:

• 1 medium onion;
• 1 teaspoon s alt;
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil;
• 600 grams of potatoes.

First, let's prepare the dough for the yeast dough. In slightly warmed milk, dissolve one tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of s alt. We put the yeast there, mix, and then put in a warm place for about 10 minutes or until the yeast begins to rise. Next, knead the dough. Whisk the egg with the remaining sugar. Pour flour into a deep bowl. We put s alt in there. In the hill of flour we make a "crater". Pour the dough, beaten egg with sugar, vegetable oil into it and put slightly softened butter. Knead the dough thoroughly for ten to fifteen minutes. If you have a bread maker in your arsenal, great! You can use it by turning on the kneading or yeast dough preparation mode. Of course, all manipulations must be done patiently and without fuss. We cover the container with the prepared dough with a towel or cling film and put it in a warm place for an hour or two. During this time, the mass should increase in volume by about two to three times. You can periodically crush it. From such a dough, you can cook not only pies with potatoes, but also with other fillings. For example, with cabbage, mushrooms, meat, vegetables, cheese, onions and so on. Don't be afraid to experiment and tweak the ingredients to your liking. After all, this creative part in the culinary business is the most interesting and transformsa traditional dish into an unusual original recipe!

But first, let's make a traditional filling in our potato pie (a photo of the finished dish is attached). My tubers under running water, peel. Then cut the potatoes into small slices, as for making chips. We clean the onion from the husk and cut into the same thin half rings. S alt, mix and leave our future filling in pies with potatoes for 20-30 minutes. During this time, the mixture should release juice. Then squeeze out excess water and add vegetable oil. We grease the baking dish and make the base for the pie from a part of the dough. Sprinkle with flour, spread evenly and form a side. We distribute the filling, and on top we cover with the second part of the dough. We fasten the edges. Let stand for 20 minutes. Next, cover our potato pies with foil and put in an oven preheated to 245 degrees. First, bake for about 10 minutes at this temperature, and then lower it to 160 degrees and continue to bake for about 35 minutes. Then remove the foil and cook the rest of the time. Done!

As a quick option, you can make a layered pie with potatoes. The filling is prepared in the same way as in the previous recipe, and the dough is taken ready.
