Potato Pie
I was flipping through a book “In the Mood for Pastries and Tarts” by Alan Ooi at the book store last week andΒ discovered many yummy recipes in it. Without a second thought, I happily brought the book home and tried the first recipe ~Β Potato Pie. I was delighted with the result as the pie was delicious. This pie will please your taste buds and will certainly satisfy your appetite, any time of the day. Give this recipe a try. You’ll not regret it.
I’m linking this post to Aspiring Bakers #10: Easy as Pie (August 2011) hosted by Janine of Not the Kitchen Sink.
- Here is the recipe with slight adjustment (makes 14)
Shortcrust pastry
400g Plain flour
220g Cold butter
1/2 tsp Salt
5-6 tbsp Ice water - Mix pastry ingredients till crumbly, add ice water into it and knead to become a dough. (Please refer to my Blueberry Pie for more details)
- Shape it into ball and wrap it with aluminium foil. Put dough in freezer for about 15 minutes.
- Roll the pastry dough flat into about 3mm thickness between two plastic sheets. Use a round cutter to cut dough and place it into tart mould.
- Press the dough evenly in mould and trim excess dough with a sharp knife.
- Prick some holes with a fork to release air from the pastry and place the tart moulds in the freezer for another 10 mins or for a day or two.
- Take out tart moulds from freezer, line with aluminium foil and blind bake for 20 minutes at preheated oven 180C. Remove aluminium foil immediately from tart moulds after baked and leave tart pastry to cool.
- Mushroom Chicken Filling
25g Cooking oil
1 big Onion (finely diced)
1 Carrot (cut to thick slices, boil to cook and finely diced)
1 small tin Button mushrooms (finely diced) - 300g Chicken thigh (cut to small cubes)
1/2 tsp Chicken powder
1/2 tsp salt or add to taste
1/2 tsp White pepper - Β Fry onion until fragrant then add chicken cubes and fry till cooked. Add carrot, button mushrooms and seasoning – stir fry well, dish up and leave to cool.
- Potato Filling
- 500-550g Potatoes (peeled)
2 tbsp Soft butter
2 tbsp Whipping cream
1 Egg
1/2 tsp Salt or add to taste
3/4 tsp Fresh dill (cut finely) - Boil or microwave potatoes till cooked.
- Assemble Potato Pie
- Gently remove cooked pastry tart from mould and place on a baking tray with baking sheet underneath.
- Using a fork to mash potatoes and add butter, whipping cream, egg, salt and dill, mix well.
- Scoop the chicken filling evenly into each mould.
- Fill piping bag with mashed potato and pipe onto chicken filling.
- Bake in preheated oven at 200C for 20 mins or until light golden brown.
ENJOY!

@LyndseyHi Lyndsey, Thank you! Yes, I already made a second batch and everyone loved it. I think for shepard pies are a little moist that this one here.
Thank you everyone for your lovely comments.
@cherry potatoCherry Potato ~ 还好啦!不要被那些步骤吓到。你可以早一天先把皮擀好,第二天才拿去烤,同个时候煮potato和切其他才料。这样就可以省很多时间了。
hi, i'm sandu here. Wat do u mean by "line with aluminium foil and blind bake for 20 minutes". I saw yr pic, on top of the pie u line with aluminium foil and some small round thing like stone. Wat is that for actually?
Ann, you wouldn't believe the "yums" that came out of my mouth with every picture that was scrolled down! Wow!
They are truly beautiful! They are almost like mini shepards pies. I would be a hit of any party if I showed up with these!
this looks really tasty! I love your chicken/vege filling combo with mashed potatoes! Great for parties too!
yup…the photos already told how delicious this pie is…can i have one?
I have been luxurious, beautiful and delicious cakes, warm hugs.
oh..this makes me drooling.. potato pie.. yum yum..
These are such fancy pies, the filling looks so good! I love the way you've finished them on top- just lovely;-)
Beautiful picture, the pie looks very delicious.
This looks so tasty with the chicken and vegetable filling. If my boys see these pies, they will surely request for me to make them soon π
I am first – can exchange my egg tarts with this. Potatoe – I love it.
These are such fancy pies, the filling looks so good! I love the way you've finished them on top- just lovely;-)
Yum Yum ! Enjoying this ..hehehe:)
漂亮!单看照片就知道很好吃。。
These look so yummy, Ann. Nice job with the crust. And nice touch with the piped mash.
@✰Ꮮуռ էяɨռɨא (ᵐᵋˢˢᵞ ᴻ ᶜʱᵋᵋᵏᵞ)✰Lyn, must try this for your family. Is delicious and healthy.
Hello Ann, I'm from JB. Btw, Phoon huat or sun Lik dun sell? I will look for local bakery shop in JB..The red or green bean just use like this?..Sandy
@AnonymousSandy ~ I don't think PH or Sunlik carried such item. You don't have to wash the beans, just place the raw beans on the foil.Remember to remove the beans and foil immediately after baked otherwise the foil will stick to the pastry.
@AnonymousHi Sandy, yes you can get it in most Bakery shop but if you're local, I think only Chong Trading has it but are quite expensive.The Adelphi #02-091 Coleman Street (S)179803You can use red/greens and reuse it many time.
Hello, is Sandy (sandu) here. Was wrongly type my name last night. Thanks for the explanation and where do u get the pie stone? Bakery shop should have right? Very yummy recipe as potatoes is my LOVE. Will try your recipe one day
Thanks Kris π My pictures are still not sharp enough, must learn from you π
@JoOh Jo! You makes me smile :))Thank you π
Good morning, Anne! Needing clarification here – I need to boil the carrot till soft, dice it and then fry again? Can I just dice the carrot into cubes and then fry (no boiling)? Thanks much!
Hi Ai Li, It takes long time to soften the carrot if you don’t want to boil it first. You can omit the carrot and add corn or frozen vegetables.
your piping skills are awesome. Love this type of pie. So sumptious.
Ann, such a pretty pie, this is truely feasting the eyes first before the stomach!
You have a magic hand in turning a simple potato dish into such a beauty! Respect!
These are some delicious cutie pies! π You've got me craving for one now…and I'm not even particularly love potatoes…but these look really yummy!
These tarts must be very delicious. The creamy potatoes mash on these buttery flaky tart shells are perfect being together.
Oh my goodness Ann, what a great idea..I know that I would love these so much! You did incredible and outstanding job from presentation to pictures!
This looks absolutely yum, and like a full satisfying meal….
I like this pie! especially the fancy mashed potato, yum!!
@Biren @ Roti n Rice
Yes Biren, this is very yummy to me.
You can prepare the pastry ahead and add the filling whenever you feel like doing it.
@Yummy Bakes
Sure Chris, when I see you the next we do the exchange :DD
Generous fillings! Drooling already! π
Wow….you make a simple tart look SO beautiful and delicious. I can even have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner, at least 2 per meal π
