Potato yeast pies with onions

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   In this recipe I want to tell you how to bake potato pies from yeast dough in the oven. Let's prepare all the products we need for the dough and potato filling.

2. STEP 2

   

   First, knead the dough, to do this, sift the flour into a container, pour a glass of boiled, cooled water into it, add yeast (already activated) dissolved in a quarter glass of warm water, vegetable oil, salt and sugar. Mix the whole mass thoroughly and knead the dough. Make a bun out of it, put it in a bowl, sprinkle with flour, cover with a towel and put in a warm place for about 50-60 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   In the meantime, we are preparing the filling; to do this, boil the potatoes in salted water and mash them. Fry finely chopped onion until soft and mix with puree.

4. STEP 4

   

   Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to the work surface.

5. STEP 5

   

   We form a rope of medium diameter from the dough and divide it into equal pieces with a knife. Make a ball from each piece.

6. STEP 6

   

   Take one ball at a time and knead it with your hands into a thin cake. Place a tablespoon of filling in the middle and pinch the edges of the pie.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the pies on a baking sheet greased with vegetable oil, seam side down, at a short distance from each other, cover with a kitchen towel and let rise for 20 minutes. Brush the pies with beaten egg and place in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 35-40 minutes. During this time they will rise well, become golden brown and fully cooked. Place the hot pies on a tray, cover with a towel and let stand for a while.
