Best Creamy Potato Pie Recipes

CREAMY BUTTERMILK SWEET POTATO PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Bake empty pie shell for 6-7 minutes, or until the bottom of crust begins to turn light brown. Remove from oven and turn heat down to 350 degrees F. Place pie on a cookie sheet.
• Whip the sweet potatoes in the bowl of a stand mixer until smooth. Add the reserved syrup, buttermilk, eggs, egg yolk, melted butter, and flour; mix until incorporated.
• Pour into the pie shell and bake for 60-65 minutes, or until center of pie has set. If crust starts to brown too much, cover pie with a sheet of tin foil.
• Garnish with whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice.

CREAMY LEEK, POTATO & HAM PIE

Steps:

• First, make the pastry. Put the butter in a bowl with the flour and salt. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add about 6 tbsp water to the mixture and use a knife to mix together until you have a firm dough. Cut the dough in half and shape each into a flat disc. Wrap in cling film and put in the fridge while you make the filling.
• Put the potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5-7 mins until partcooked. Drain well and allow to cool.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion and leeks, and gently cook for 10-15 mins until they are very tender, being careful not to brown them. Add the garlic and cook for a few mins more, then remove from the heat, tip into a bowl and allow to cool. Stir in the chives.
• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put a baking tray in the oven to preheat. Roll out 1 disc of the pastry on a lightly floured surface to 5mm thick. Use this to line a 24cm round x 4cm deep pie tin, leaving any excess pastry to overhang the tin. Prick the pastry all over with a fork, place on the heated baking tray and bake for 10-12 mins. Return the baking tray to the oven.
• Slice the cooled potatoes into very thin rounds. Start to assemble the pie by arranging half of the potatoes in the base, then top with half the leeks, half the crème fraîche dotted over the top and half the cheese. Arrange half the ham on top, then repeat again with all the remaining ingredients.
• Roll out the remaining disc of pastry to about a 26cm circle. Brush the top edge of the pastry in the tin with the beaten egg. Lay the circle of pastry over the top and trim the edges, crimping with your fingertips or a fork to seal. Brush all over with the beaten egg and decorate the top with any leftover pastry cut into leaves or a decoration of your choice.
• Place on the hot baking tray on the lowest shelf and bake for 45 mins until golden. Set aside for 15 mins to cool in the tin before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Cut into wedges and serve.

CREAMY LEEK, POTATO, CHEDDAR & CHIVE FISH PIE

Steps:

• Tip the flour, salt, thyme and mustard powder into a food processor and pulse briefly. Add the butter and pulse again to a fine breadcrumb texture. Add half the egg and 1 tbsp cold water and pulse until it comes together into a dough (you can add up to 1-2 tbsp more water if it's dry). Tip the dough onto a work surface and knead briefly. Wrap and chill for 30 mins.
• To make the filling, cook the potato in a pan of boiling water for 8-10 mins. Drain and leave to steam-dry. Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat, and fry the leeks for 5 mins. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 mins, then add the milk, a little at a time, stirring between each addition to combine. Add the cream, cheese and mustard, and cook for 1-2 mins more until the cheese has melted. Stir in the chives and season. Remove from the heat and leave to cool for 15 mins.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/ gas 8. Gently fold the salmon, potato, haddock and prawns into the creamy leek mixture, then spoon into a 27cm round pie dish. Roll the pastry out on a lightly floured surface to the thickness of a £1 coin. Drape the pastry over the pie, then trim the excess. Crimp the edges, then shape the off-cuts to decorate the top, if you like. Brush with the remaining egg, then bake in the centre of the oven for 35-40 mins until golden. Serve with steamed greens.
