Ingredients
- 1.56 pounds potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly
- 2 scallions, chopped finely
- 1 red onion, chopped finely
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Salt and pepper
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons ice water
Instructions
Step 1
Lightly grease a baking sheet. Bring a saucepan of water to boil, then add the sliced potatoes and bring back to a boil, simmer for a few minutes. Drain the potato slices and leave to cool. Dry off any excess moisture with paper towels.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix together the spring scallions, red onion, and the cooled potato slices. Stir in 2 tablespoons of cream and plenty of seasoning (salt and pepper).
Step 3
Divide the pastry in half. Roll out one piece to an 11.5 inch round. Roll the remaining pastry to a 10 inch round and cut a steam vent in the middle of the pastry.
Step 4
Place the larger pastry circle onto the baking sheet and fill with the potato mixture, leaving a 1/2 inch border. Brush this border with a little of the beaten egg.
Step 5
Top with the other pastry disk, seal well, and crimp the edges of the pastry. Brush with the beaten egg and bake in a preheated oven at 400˚F for 30 minutes.
Step 6
After 30 minutes of baking, mix the remaining beaten egg with the rest of the cream and pour into the pie through the steam vent. Return to the oven for 15 minutes, then leave to cool for 30 minutes. Serve warm or cold.
