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.
- Cut the dough into squares or circles, depending on your preferred pie shape.
- 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.
- Prepare the Filling:
- 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.
