Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground sausage
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Chicken stock
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 package Refrigerated pie crust
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Boil over medium-high heat until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain thoroughly.
While the potatoes cook, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the cooked sausage and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
Gradually pour in the chicken stock while stirring, allowing the mixture to thicken into a gravy. Stir in the thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and toss with the onion-gravy mixture. Remove from heat and set aside.
Mash the drained potatoes with 3 tablespoons of butter and 1/2 cup of milk until creamy. Stir in the cheddar cheese and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Unroll the refrigerated pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough, leaving a slight overhang.
Fill the pie crust with the sausage mixture, spreading it into an even layer. Top with the mashed potatoes, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash. Brush the edges of the pie crust with the egg wash.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Let the pie rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Hearty Sausage Potato Pie!
