Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (350°F for convection). Boil the potato until tender, drain, and mash. Let cool.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a non-stick skillet, add the ground pork and onion, and sauté quickly until the meat is browned.

  3. 3

    Add the garlic, spices, broth, plenty of black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mix well. Remove from heat and stir into the mashed potatoes. Let cool.

  4. 4

    Roll out half of the dough and line the bottom of an 8 to 9-inch pie dish. Pour in the filling. Brush the edges of the dough with water.

  5. 5

    Roll out the remaining dough and cover the pie. Press the edges firmly to seal, then trim any excess. Prick the top of the pie to allow steam to escape.

  6. 6

    Brush the top with the beaten egg. Bake for 30 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy. Serve in slices with a green salad.

💡 Chef's Tip

Leftovers are delicious cold the next day, served with gherkins or pickles. You can prepare the filling 1 day in advance. For maximum crispiness, brush the dough with the egg wash 5 minutes before baking.
