Potato Pie

Potato Pie is a comforting dish of creamy mashed potatoes and savory vegetables wrapped in flaky pastry. Each bite blends warmth and rustic elegance, turning simple ingredients into golden comfort.

Ingredients for the Filling

5 boiled potatoes
4 leeks, sliced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 red bell peppers, sliced
Salt
Pepper
Oregano
Olive oil

Filling Preparation

In a pot with salted water, boil the potatoes for 25–30 minutes until tender. Mash the potatoes in a large bowl using a potato masher.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion, bell peppers, and leeks until softened.
Remove from heat, season with salt, pepper, and oregano, and mix the sautéed vegetables with the mashed potatoes.

Ingredients for the Dough

500 g all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vinegar
100 g olive oil
150 g water

Dough Preparation

In a large bowl, add the flour and make a well in the center. Add the vinegar, salt, and olive oil.
Mix with your hands to evenly distribute the oil through the flour.
Gradually add the water and knead until you have a soft, non-sticky dough. If needed, add more flour or water to adjust the texture.
Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll out each piece on a floured surface to make thin sheets.

Assembly

Grease a baking pan with olive oil and lay the first sheet of dough. Lightly brush with olive oil, then add a second sheet.
Spread the potato and leek mixture evenly over the dough layers.
Place the third sheet of dough on top, brush with olive oil, and add the final sheet.
Lightly brush the top with olive oil.

Baking

Preheat your oven to 170–180°C (340–355°F).
Bake the pie for about 60 minutes, or until the top is golden and crisp. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.

Serving Suggestion Let the pie cool slightly before slicing and serve warm as a main dish or a hearty side.
