Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes (peeled and chopped)
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes (peeled and chopped)
- 2 medium Purple potatoes (peeled and chopped)
- 6 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 8 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 medium Carrots (finely diced)
- 1 cup Green peas (frozen or fresh)
- 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with a light layer of butter or olive oil.
In three separate pots, boil each type of potato (russet, sweet, and purple) in salted water until soft and tender, 10-15 minutes each. Drain thoroughly.
Mash each type of potato in separate bowls. Divide the cream cheese and butter equally among the three bowls (2 tablespoons of cream cheese and ~2.5 tablespoons of butter for each) and mix until smooth. Add a splash of milk to each bowl to achieve a creamy consistency. Add salt and pepper as per taste to each bowl.
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté onions in olive oil until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the diced carrots and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add peas and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Season the vegetable mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Begin layering the pie: Spread the mashed russet potatoes evenly as the bottom layer in the pie dish. Add the sautéed vegetables as the second layer, spreading them evenly over the potatoes.
Spread the mashed sweet potato evenly over the vegetable layer, followed by an even layer of the mashed purple potatoes.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top layer of potatoes.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped parsley for garnish before serving.
Slice and enjoy your beautiful and delicious Colourful Potato Pie!
