Steps to Make Savory Meat and Potato Puff Pastry Pies
Prepare the Filling:
Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced meat and cook until browned.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook until they begin to soften, about 5-7 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and add the chopped green onions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.
Prepare the Puff Pastry:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.Dust your work surface with a little flour and roll out the puff pastry dough to a thickness of about 3-4 mm.
Fill and Seal the Pies:
Place a spoonful of the meat and potato filling in the center of each dough square or circle.
Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle, rectangle, or half-moon shape, depending on the cut.
Press the edges with a fork to seal, ensuring the filling won’t escape during baking.
Bake the Pies:
Arrange the pies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
Brush the tops lightly with vegetable oil or an egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
Serve:
Let the pies cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these savory delights warm or at room temperature!
