Preparation
Step 1
How do you bake a pie with potatoes and ground meat in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients for the dough. The butter should be cold, so take it out of the refrigerator at the very last moment, just before adding it.
Step 2
Sift the flour. This will enrich it with oxygen, and the finished dough will be airier and fluffier. Put the flour, the cold butter cut into pieces, and the salt into a blender bowl.
Step 3
Blend everything into fine crumbs.
Step 4
Add the egg and the sour cream.
Step 5
Quickly knead a soft, pliable dough. It should be kneaded quickly so that the warmth of your hands does not melt the butter.
Step 6
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Step 7
Prepare the necessary ingredients for the filling.
Step 8
Peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Potatoes cut too large will most likely not bake through, while the dough may start to burn on the bottom. So cut the potatoes small right away.
Step 9
You can use any kind of ground meat. I used a mix of pork and beef. But ground meat from just one type of meat will also work, as well as chicken or turkey. Choose whichever you prefer, but with a moderate amount of fat. If the ground meat contains too much fat, a lot of moisture will be released during baking, which will soak the dough on the bottom.
Step 10
Add the ground meat and the sour cream to the potatoes.
Step 11
Season the filling with salt and pepper and mix it thoroughly.
Step 12
Divide the chilled dough into two unequal parts. Roll the larger part into a circle larger than the diameter of the baking pan. Place the dough in the pan and form high sides. My pan is 20 cm in diameter, about 8 inches, but you can use a larger one, up to 26 cm, about 10 inches. Your pie will simply not be as tall. To make it easier to remove the pie, I line the pan with strips of parchment paper. By pulling on them later, you can easily lift the pie out without damaging it.
Step 13
Place the filling onto the dough and level it out.
Step 14
Roll the second part of the dough into a circle equal to the diameter of the baking pan.
Step 15
Cover the filling with the second sheet of dough. Pinch the edges carefully. Make a hole in the center for steam to escape. Put the pie into an oven preheated to 180°C (350°F) and bake for about 1 hour or a little longer. Check the pie from time to time so that the dough on the bottom and sides does not burn. Use your oven as a guide. If the juice in the center of the pie runs clear, the meat is done.
Step 16
Remove the finished pie from the pan and cut it into pieces. It can be served hot, warm, or cold. Enjoy your meal!
