2 lb ground pork
1 medium onion chopped fine
1 1/2 lb homemade mashed potato
clove, nutmeg & cinnemon to taste
2 pie crusts top & bottom

Steps:

  • 1. Peel & cook potatoes to make and equal amount to mix with pork after it is browned. You can use Idahoan Pkg mix instead --it is the best instant on the market I believe!
  • 2. Cook ground pork with chopped onion and season with S&P, clove,nutmeg & cinnamon to taste.
  • 3. Preheat oven 400 degrees.Combine browned Pork with potatoes in nearly equal amounts. You may need to add a small amount of water so you can work with it. Fill ready pie shells and top with a crust. Put 4 slits in top shell for steam. Cook for about 40 minutes or until top crust is light brown.
  • 4. This recipe is for 2 pies because one is never enough and you can freeze what is left over in individual baggies and take them out whenever you want some....ENJOY!!
