Delicious Potato Pies Recipe for Every Occasion

Start by finely chopping the medium onion into small cubes. In a skillet, heat a small amount of vegetable oil and sauté the onion until it turns golden brown. This will bring out its sweet flavor.

Next, peel and boil the potatoes until they are soft. Drain and mash the potatoes until you achieve a smooth consistency.

While the potatoes are warm, add the butter, sautéed onions, salt, and a pinch of black pepper to the mash. Mix everything well until fully combined. Set aside for later.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, warm milk, sugar, and dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until it's frothy.

Next, add the egg, salt, and vegetable oil to the yeast mixture. Gradually incorporate the flour until the dough begins to form. Knead the mixture for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any excess air. Divide the dough into equal portions, about the size of a golf ball.

Roll each portion into a circle on a floured surface. Place a generous amount of the potato filling in the center of each circle. Carefully fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the prepared pies on the baking sheet and let them rise for an additional 20 minutes. Then, bake in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Once baked, remove them from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious potato pies warm!
