Potato dough for pies

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make potato dough for pies? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Potatoes should be thoroughly washed with a brush under running water. Wash the egg and dry with napkins.

2. STEP 2

   

   Peel the potatoes, cut into pieces, pour cold water in a saucepan.

3. STEP 3

   

   Bring the potatoes to a boil over high heat and add salt. Cook the potatoes at a moderate boil until tender. Cooking time will depend on the varietal characteristics of the vegetable. The finished potatoes should be absolutely soft and easy to pierce with a knife.

4. STEP 4

   

   Drain all the water from the potatoes and mash them with a potato masher so that there are no lumps.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add butter to potatoes, stir. You can do this while chopping potatoes. Cool the mashed potatoes. You can transfer it to another container so that the potatoes cool faster.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add a raw egg to the cooled mashed potatoes. Beat again so that the egg is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

7. STEP 7

   

   Sift flour with baking powder. This will increase the loosening ability of the latter.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour a little more than half of the sifted flour into the potato mixture and stir. Add the rest of the flour in small portions, stirring the dough each time. You may need a little more or less flour. It depends on its properties and quality. I used premium wheat flour. But for this dough you can use first grade flour; it is also suitable for savory baked goods.

9. STEP 9

   

   Do not add too much flour so that the dough does not turn out dense. Pies made from this dough will be a little tight. The dough should be soft, pliable, sticking to your hands quite a bit. The potato dough is ready and you can form pies.

10. STEP 10

    

    To do this, divide the dough into equal parts of the desired size. When forming pies, sprinkle flour on the table to prevent the dough from sticking. Place the filling on the rolled out part of the dough (I used green onions with a boiled egg) and form a pie. Potato dough pies can be baked in the oven or fried in a frying pan, adding vegetable oil, until golden brown. Happy baking!

I know a similar recipe for potato dough, but without adding baking powder and oil.
