Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Potato Dough
Peel and grate the potatoes, then squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, eggs, chopped parsley, flour, and baking powder. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Step 2: Cook the Filling
Heat a little vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Sauté the chopped onion until softened, then add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
Add the ground meat and cook until browned.
Stir in the grated carrot, mushrooms, bell pepper, and tomato paste. Season with salt, black pepper, and sweet paprika. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the filling is thick. Finish with freshly chopped dill and let the mixture cool slightly.
Step 3: Assemble the Potato Pie
Lightly flour your work surface.
Divide the potato dough into two equal portions.
Roll out one portion and place it into a greased baking dish or oven-safe pan.
Spread the meat filling evenly over the dough.
Cover with the second rolled-out layer of potato dough and seal the edges.
Step 4: Bake
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is beautifully golden brown and fully cooked.
Allow the pie to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
How to Make the Sauce
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, French mustard, chopped pickles, minced garlic, and finely chopped onion.
Mix well until creamy and smooth.
Serve chilled alongside the warm potato pie.
