It is especially pleasant to eat hot baked pies with potatoes on a cold winter evening, enjoying the pleasant taste and aroma of fresh baked goods. We will look at all the secrets and nuances of cooking in a simple recipe that will help demonstrate the best qualities of a housewife.

So, first of all, let’s look at not just how to cook potato pies in the oven, but what we need, first of all, for this.

Product Set

This is a list of ingredients that will help us prepare dough for potato pies:

• 1 liter of water;
• 3 teaspoons salt;
• 2 packs of yeast;
• 2 eggs;
• 50 ml vegetable oil;
• 3.5 tablespoons sugar;
• 1.5 kg flour.

Let's look at what we need for a tasty filling:

• Onion;
• Potato;
• Salt;
• Vegetable oil.

Step by step recipe

This recipe does not require the smallest number of pies; on average, you should get about 50 pieces, which means that you can feed even the largest family. However, if you don't need that much, feel free to reduce the ingredients. For example, by cutting the amount of water in half, you can confidently reduce the amount of other foods in the same proportions.

Before you start cooking, let’s reveal a little secret that will help you prepare delicious baked pies with potatoes now and in the future. For convenience, the filling for potato pies should be prepared in advance. This is due to the fact that the potatoes are cooled.

1. So, let’s take good advice, so as not to waste time later on letting the filling cool, let’s start making it right now. We take the prepared potatoes and send them to boil; as you know, it won’t take much time. Don't forget to add salt and leave it on the fire until it's ready. While the potatoes are simmering, let's take care of the onions, another important component of the filling. Fry the onion thoroughly in vegetable oil, it turns out golden and aromatic. You don't need to fry it for a long time to prevent it from burning.
2. At this time the potatoes were cooked. We mash it with a fork so that we get a kind of puree. After this, add the cooked onions to the potatoes, mix well and the potato filling for the pies is ready.
3. Now we can start preparing the dough. We take a convenient and, most importantly, rather large bowl or any other container. Please note that the dough will increase significantly in size. The water for the test should be warm. We send it to our bowl. Next add the yeast. Let's give them a little time to disperse.
4. Add sugar and salt to the yeast mass. Then we send the prepared vegetable oil. All this must be mixed thoroughly.
5. Next, sift the flour so that our yeast pies with potatoes turn out tender and fluffy. Add the sifted flour gradually, stirring at the same time. For now, add only half of the prepared flour, knead it well and let the dough rise a little. After this, add the second half of the flour in the same way.
   
6. We leave the dough to rise, but we don’t go far, since during this time we knead the dough; we need to do this several times so that it starts to rise again. We monitor our fluffy dough so that it does not get out of the container.
7. When we have kneaded the dough for the second time, we can safely lay it out on a work surface sprinkled with flour. This means that we can start making pies with potatoes and onions. If you are not entirely comfortable working with a large amount of dough, you can take it in parts.
   
8. We take the dough, cut off a part from it, from which we tear off small pieces to form balls - our future pies. Place the resulting ball on the work surface and roll it out.
9. When the dough is rolled out into pieces, put the filling on it, which we prepared at the very beginning. We don’t skimp on the filling; as you know, the more the pie is filled with filling, the tastier it turns out. After the filling is in place, we form full-fledged pies; to do this, we simply pinch them together by connecting the edges.
   
10. We prepare a baking sheet, to do this, grease it with vegetable oil or, if you have it, baking paper, use it, spreading it around the entire perimeter of the baking sheet. We are posting our charming pies. In order for them to turn out not only very tasty, but also beautiful, we place them seam side down. We place them at a short distance from each other, since they, of course, will increase during baking.
    
11. Don’t forget to preheat the oven to about 180 degrees and then place the baking sheet with the pies into it. The potato pies will bake in the oven for about 15 minutes.
    
12. Monitor the progress of baking a little and when the pies are browned, you can safely take them out, put them on a dish, but at the same time cover them slightly with a towel.
    

Potato pies in the oven turned out very tasty, aromatic and tender. Of course, the dough itself plays a significant role in such baked goods, but the filling is also important here. For example, onions added to potatoes gave a pleasant smell and interesting taste.

As it turned out, preparing such culinary delights is not so difficult, you just need to stick to a good recipe, put in a little effort, well, without desire there is nowhere, the desire to pamper your loved ones with a variety of pies, experimenting with delicious fillings, which will allow you to find your favorite recipe , which will become your signature dish.

Potato pies are products in which the familiar and beloved filling plays the role of “dough”. This replacement gives simply amazing results. The finished product is tender, aromatic and very tasty. However, the technology for preparing such a dish has its own characteristics and secrets, which are worth talking about in more detail.

Meat pies

Experienced chefs say that potato pies are only a small part of what can be made from the world's most popular vegetable. There are hundreds of options for their preparation, which can be classified according to several criteria:

1. The composition of the “dough” (mashed potatoes, broth, with yeast).
2. Contents of the filling (with mushrooms, meat, fish, vegetables, cheese and mixed).
3. Cooking method (frying, baking).

Those who want to try to master this difficult science can be suggested to try making potato pies with meat.

The following products will be needed as initial components:

For the "test":

1 kilogram of potatoes, 200 grams of flour, 4 raw chicken eggs and salt.

For filling:

0.3 kilograms of boiled beef, salt, 200 grams of onions, ground black pepper and one boiled egg.

The technology is simple:

1. First, the potatoes need to be boiled and then passed through a meat grinder.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and knead the “dough”.
3. To make the filling, first of all, boiled meat must be ground in a meat grinder.
4. Finely chop the onion and lightly sauté, and crumble the egg as desired.
5. Having combined the components provided for in the recipe, prepare the minced meat for the filling.
6. Roll out the “dough” into a layer, and then divide it into pieces (squares or circles).
7. Place the filling in the center of each piece and carefully close it, bringing the edges together.
8. Fry in a frying pan on both sides in boiling oil.

Before serving, you can pour the pies with heated butter or place a spoonful of sour cream next to them.

With mushroom filling

A good option for a full dinner would be, for example, potato pies with mushrooms. People also call them zrazy. The method of preparing such a dish is very similar to that described earlier. To work you will need the following ingredients:

800 grams of potatoes, 2 raw eggs, 300 grams of boiled mushrooms, an onion, 10 grams of salt, ½ cup of vegetable oil, 5 branches of green onions and 9 tablespoons of breadcrumbs.

The preparation of such pies includes the following steps:

1. First, the potatoes must be washed and peeled, and then boiled, not forgetting to add a little salt.
2. At this time, you need to fry the mushrooms in oil, adding chopped onion to them.
3. Grind the boiled potatoes into puree, add salt, add 1 raw egg and prepare a “dough” from all this.
4. Grind the fried mushrooms in a meat grinder, and then add finely chopped green onions to them. The filling is ready.
5. Now you need to form the pie. To do this, you need to take part of the “dough”, roll it into a ball, and then flatten it into a flat cake. Place some filling in the middle and carefully fold the edges. Place the preparations on the table and let them cool.
6. In a separate bowl, beat 1 egg and add a quarter glass of water. Pour crackers into another bowl.
7. Now you can proceed to the last stage. Each piece must first be dipped in the egg mixture, then rolled thoroughly in breadcrumbs, and only then carefully placed in a frying pan with boiling oil and fried on both sides.

Interestingly, such pies will be delicious not only hot, but also cold.

Experienced housewives know that potato dough for pies will be better if flour is added to the main mass. This will allow:

• make the mixture stronger and more elastic;
• After frying, obtain a pleasant golden brown crust on the surface.

The simplest recipe for potato “dough” provides the following ratio of products:

for 7 potatoes 1 raw egg, 30 grams of butter, 120 grams of flour and a little salt (to taste).

It is not difficult to prepare such a semi-finished product:

1. First, the potatoes need to be peeled and then boiled with salt.
2. Drain the broth, and grind the vegetables themselves together with the oil into a puree.
3. As soon as the mixture has cooled, beat in the egg, add flour and mix it all well. To make the work easier, you can use a mixer.

Now you can safely make pies from the finished “dough”. To get the desired result, you need to take into account some subtleties:

• eggs should always be added only to cooled puree;
• Before frying, it is better to roll the workpieces in flour so that the potato mass does not absorb too much oil;
• To maintain integrity, it is better to cut the elastic “dough” with your hands;
• After frying, the pies must first be placed on a napkin to remove excess fat.

Thanks to these rules, products from such dough will turn out not only beautiful, but also very tasty.

Miracle decoction

Some chefs prefer to make pies using potato broth. True, this also has its own characteristics. First you need to collect the following products on your desktop:

potatoes, 280 grams of flour, 150 grams of sunflower oil, 160 grams of sugar and a pack of yeast (dry).

2. Dilute dry yeast in a glass with water and add sugar.
3. Pour flour into a bowl and pour in the broth.
4. After this, you need to add 150 g of sunflower oil and sugar.

7. The formation of blanks must begin immediately after the semi-finished product has ripened and cooled.

With this “dough” you can use almost any filling, even sweet ones.

Lazy pies

The recipe for potato pies can be chosen in such a way that the “dough” in them is also the filling. Such products are designed for the laziest or very busy housewives who simply do not have extra time to work in the kitchen. To prepare these pies, you first need to collect all the necessary ingredients:

2. Add the remaining ingredients one by one in the following order: egg - butter - salt and spices - flour. After each ingredient, the mass must be thoroughly stirred.
3. Roll out the “dough” into a pancake 1-2 millimeters thick, and then use a special mold or a regular glass to cut out pieces in the form of circles.
4. Pour more vegetable oil into the saucepan and bring it to a boil.
5. In batches of 5-6 pieces, deep-fry the pieces, and then place them on a napkin to remove excess fat.

These pies are usually called “bombs” because they puff up during cooking. Sometimes they are also made even with vegetable filling.

Fermented milk filling

Pies made from mashed potatoes will be more fluffy if you add a little kefir to the “dough”. Thanks to the unique features of this fermented milk product, the finished product is soft and airy. To prepare such a miracle, you must additionally use:

1 raw egg, 0.5-1 cups of kefir (as you like), flour and a third of a teaspoon of soda.

Everything is done very quickly:

Such pies give potatoes a second life. Now any housewife will know that the remains of ordinary puree can become the basis for a very tasty and healthy dish.

The entire preparation procedure can be divided into 4 successive stages:

3. Using your hands, make a round cake out of the potato mixture, put some of the filling on it, and then carefully fold the edges.

50 grams of sugar, 350 milliliters of still warm potato broth, a small piece of butter, 30 grams of yeast (fresh), 10 grams of salt and flour.

This “dough” can be made quickly and easily. It is prepared literally in one step. You just need to mix all the ingredients and put the finished mixture to rise. Everything happens in a matter of minutes. Thanks to fresh yeast, the “dough” grows right before your eyes. After this, all that remains is to prepare some filling, shape the workpiece, and then fry it in boiling oil until it has a characteristic golden brown crust. This is also done very quickly. And as a filling you can use the same potatoes, the decoction of which has already found its way into the “dough”. You just need to mix it with fried onions and add a little chopped herbs for flavor.

Baking in the oven

It is much easier to bake potato pies in the oven. It doesn’t matter at all what filling will be used in them. As an example, consider one very interesting recipe. We will need a modest set of products.

1. Boil the peeled potatoes. There is no need to salt the water.
2. Drain the broth and cool the potatoes.
3. At this time, you can make the filling by mixing all the ingredients at once.
4. To make the “dough,” you need to grate the potatoes, and then add everything that the recipe calls for and mix well to get a homogeneous thick mass.
5. Sprinkle a cutting board with flour and roll out the “dough” on it.

After this, all that remains is to put the pies in the oven and wait until they brown.
