It is especially pleasant to eat hot baked pies with potatoes on a cold winter evening, enjoying the pleasant taste and aroma of fresh baked goods. We will consider all the secrets and nuances of cooking in a simple recipe that will help demonstrate the best qualities of the hostess.

So, to begin with, let's consider not just how to cook pies with potatoes in the oven, but what we first need for this.

Set of products

This is a list of ingredients that will help us prepare the dough for patty and potatoes:

  • 1 liter of water;
  • 3 teaspoons of salt;
  • 2 packs of yeast;
  • 2 eggs;
  • 50 ml of vegetable oil;
  • 3.5 tablespoons of sugar;
  • 1.5 kg of flour.

Consider what we need for a delicious filling:

  • Onion;
  • Potato;
  • Salt;
  • Vegetable oil.

Step by step recipe

This recipe does not provide for the smallest number of pies, on average you should get about 50 pieces, which means that you can feed even the largest family. However, if you don't need that much, you can safely reduce the amount of ingredients. For example, by halving the amount of water, you can confidently reduce the amount of other products in the same proportions.

Before proceeding directly to cooking, we will reveal another little secret that will now and in the future will help you prepare delicious baked pies with potatoes. For convenience, the filling for pies with potatoes should be prepared in advance. This is due to the fact that the potatoes are cooled.

  1. So, let's use some good advice so as not to waste time later on letting the filling cool down, let's start making it right now. We take the prepared potatoes, send them to boil, as you know it will not take much time. Do not forget to add salt and leave it on the fire until it is ready. While the potatoes are languishing, we will deal with onions, another important component of the filling. Fry the onions thoroughly in vegetable oil, we get it golden and aromatic. You do not need to fry it for a long time so that it does not burn.
  2. At this time, potatoes were also cooked. We knead it with a fork, so that we get such a kind of puree. After that, we send the cooked onions to the potatoes, mix well and the potato filling for the pies is ready.
  3. Now we can start preparing the dough. We take a convenient and most importantly rather big bowl or any other container. Please note that the dough will grow significantly in size. The water for the dough should be warm. We send it to our bowl. Add yeast next. Let's give them a little time to disperse.
  4. Add sugar and salt to the yeast mass. Then we send the prepared vegetable oil. All this must be thoroughly mixed.
  5. Next, sift the flour so that our yeast pies with potatoes are tender and fluffy. Add the sifted flour gradually, stirring at the same time. So far, add only half of the prepared flour, knead it well and let the dough grow a little. After that, add the other half of the flour in the same way.
  6. We leave the dough to rise, but we do not go far, since the dough must be kneaded during this time, this must be done several times so that it begins to grow again. We follow our lush dough so that it does not crawl out of the container.
  7. When we kneaded the dough for the second time, we can safely lay it out on the surface for work, while sprinkled with flour. This means that we can start sculpting pies with potatoes and onions. If you are not comfortable working with a large amount of dough, you can take parts of it.
  8. We take the dough, cut off a part from it, from which we tear off small pieces to form balls - our future pies. We put the learned ball on the work surface and roll it out.
  9. When the dough is rolled out into pieces, put the filling on it, which we prepared at the very beginning. We do not save the filling, as you know, the more the pie is saturated with the filling, the tastier it turns out. After the filling is in place, we form full-fledged pies, for this we simply pinch them by connecting the edges.
  10. We prepare a baking sheet, for this we grease it with vegetable oil or, if there is, baking paper, use it, spreading it around the entire perimeter of the baking sheet. We spread our adorable pies. In order for them to turn out not only very tasty, but also beautiful, we put them with the seam down. We spread them at a short distance from each other, as they, of course, will increase during baking.
  11. Do not forget to preheat the oven to about 180 degrees and after that we send a baking sheet with pies into it. Pies with potatoes will be baked in the oven for about 15 minutes.
  12. Watch the baking progress a little and when the pies are browned, you can safely take them out, put them on a dish, but at the same time cover them a little with a towel.

Potato pies in the oven turned out to be very tasty, fragrant and tender. Of course, the dough itself plays a significant role in such pastries, but the filling is also important here. For example, onions added to potatoes imparted a pleasant smell and interesting taste.

As it turned out, preparing such culinary delights is not so difficult, it is enough just to adhere to a good recipe, make a little effort, well, without the desire to go nowhere, the desire to pamper your loved ones with a variety of pies, experimenting with delicious fillings, which will allow you to find your favorite recipe which will become your signature dish. Such pies are very tasty and with a cup of hot tea or coffee, as well as a glass of milk will be an excellent component of the overall taste picture.
