Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Potatoes
- 500 grams Ground pork
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
- 1 teaspoon Thyme
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 sheets Puff pastry
- 1 large Egg
Instructions
Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks, then boil them in a large pot of salted water for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
While the potatoes cook, finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the ground pork to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes.
Season the ground pork mixture with thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir in the chopped parsley and remove from heat. Set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and the milk. Mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy. Season with the remaining teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry to fit a 9-inch pie dish, leaving a slight overhang. Gently press the pastry into the dish.
Spread the cooked pork mixture evenly over the bottom of the pastry crust.
Top the pork layer with the mashed potatoes, spreading them evenly using a spatula.
Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and place it over the top of the pie, trimming any excess. Crimp the edges to seal and create a decorative border.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and brush it over the top of the pastry for a golden finish.
Cut a few small slits in the center of the pie to allow steam to escape.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and puffed.
Let the pie rest for 10 minutes before serving. Slice and enjoy!
