Mashed potato dough for pies

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make mashed potato dough for pie? You can use potatoes boiled in their skins as a base. To do this, wash the tubers by thoroughly rubbing the skin with a vegetable brush. Pour cold water into the pan and boil the potatoes until tender. It took me about thirty minutes after boiling the water for the tubers to become completely soft. But this time is approximate; you need to focus on the softness of the potatoes.

2. STEP 2

   

   Once the potatoes are ready, drain the water and cool the tubers. Peel them and mash them with a pestle to make a puree. Add baking powder, salt and a little sunflower oil. All this is to enhance the taste and improve the properties of the future dough.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add flour little by little. I have the highest grade. Stir the mixture constantly so that you stop at the right moment and do not fill the dough with flour, otherwise it will become tasteless and rubbery. The amount of flour indicated is what I use, but you may need less or more. How do you know when enough is enough? Take a small piece of dough and press it between your fingers. If it sticks to your hands or crumbles, then you need to continue adding flour little by little.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cover the dough with a towel or cling film. I recommend letting it rest for about ten minutes to make it easier to work with. But, you can immediately start making pies.

5. STEP 5

   

   Form the dough into a thick sausage and cut. I cut it into four pieces and my pies were almost the size of my palm! I think you can safely divide the dough into six equal parts to make the pies smaller. Then, right in the palm of your hand, form an oval cake at least five millimeters high so that the dough does not tear, place a heaping tablespoon of filling in the middle and pinch the edges.

We all love pies. But I think not everyone made mashed potato dough for pies. Prepared the products according to the list. I washed the potatoes, peeled them and set them to boil. Mashed the boiled potatoes with a masher to make a puree. I let the dough cool. Add salt, baking powder, a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the puree and mix. I added flour in small portions. I used 4 tablespoons per 400 grams of potatoes. I sifted the flour in advance. And kneaded until smooth. The resulting dough should not stick to your hands. If it sticks, add a little more flour. I let the dough rest for about 40 minutes. But you can start working with it right away. I made potato cakes from the dough. I rolled the sausage and divided it into 6 parts, formed flat cakes and fried them in a frying pan in vegetable oil. The children happily ate them with tea. You can make pies with any minced meat or fish. The dough turned out elastic and pleasant to work with. Doesn't stick to your hands.

Soft and tasty mashed potato dough for pies. Mashed potato dough is easy to make. This dough does not need to be kneaded for a long time and it should not be too stiff (ideally, it should stick a little to your hands). It makes excellent pies. I made it with fish. Thank you very much for the recipe!
