Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium Carrots, diced
- 2 stalks Celery stalks, diced
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 8 ounces Mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 package Pie crust dough
- 1 large Egg, beaten
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the potatoes, and cook until fork-tender, approximately 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and mash them with butter, milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, carrots, celery, and mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes.
Mix in the peas, thyme, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat.
Slowly pour in the vegetable broth, stirring constantly, until a thickened filling forms. Remove from heat.
Roll out the pie crust dough and cut into rounds large enough to line the bottom of ramekins or small ovenproof dishes.
Place the dough rounds into the dishes and spoon in the vegetable filling, leaving some room at the top.
Top each pie with a layer of mashed potatoes, spreading evenly to cover the filling.
Brush the mashed potatoes with a little beaten egg using a pastry brush to help them brown nicely in the oven.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet to catch any spills and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Let the pot pies cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
