Potato pie with herring

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Ingredients for making Potato Pie with Herring. Peel and wash the onions or leeks. We either clean lightly salted herring ourselves from bones, small and large, removing the backbone, head, etc. Or we buy ready-made herring fillets. Wash the potatoes thoroughly under running water, cleaning them with a brush. Boil the potatoes in their jackets until tender (check by piercing the tubers with a fork: if the fork goes in easily, then the potatoes are ready). Let cool.

2. STEP 2

   

   Fry the onion, pre-cut into half or quarter rings, or the chopped white part of the leek in olive oil until lightly browned.

3. STEP 3

   

   Grate all the hard cheese on a medium or fine grater. In another container, cut the tomatoes into cubes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Grate the cooled, peeled potatoes on a medium or fine grater. Place it in a deep bowl and add about two-thirds of the grated cheese there. We reserve a third of it for preparing the filling. Combine the grated potatoes and cheese, mix (you can use your hands) until smooth.

5. STEP 5

   

   Берём разъемную форму для выпечки диаметром 20 см, выстилаем пекарской бумагой. Smell it, because the potato mass after baking is quite tightly glued to it. Это 1-ый вариант.2-ой вариант (мне показалось, что он более удобный для извлечения готового пирога): Я вырезала из пекарской бумаги кружок по диаметру донышка формы, тщательно смазала его и стенки формы маслом, обильно присыпала дно и формы толчеными сухарями.

6. STEP 6

   

   We put the potato mass into the mold, compact it and make the sides into a ‘plate’. Place fried onions on the bottom, on top - herring cut into medium pieces, on top - diced tomatoes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then prepare the filling: beat the egg a little, add cream and the rest of the grated cheese. Stir until smooth.

8. STEP 8

   

   Fill the pie filling with filling. Place the pie in an oven preheated to 180 C for 25-30 minutes until a golden brown color appears on the surface of the pie.

9. STEP 9

   

   If desired, the finished pie can be sprinkled with ground black pepper. Let the pie cool. Then carefully use a spatula to release the sides of the cake from the rim of the pan. Open the pan and carefully, using two spatulas, remove the cake from the bottom of the pan and transfer it to a plate.

10. STEP 10

    

    You can decorate the pie with dill sprigs. It tastes better when eaten slightly warm or cool. Although, everything is individual...)) Bon appetit!
