Ingredients:

4 potatoes
800g
1/4 cup olive oil
60g
1 tbsp butter
16g
4 onions
640g
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
120g
1 tbsp fresh thyme
16g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 sheets puff pastry
500g
1 egg
50g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Place the peeled and diced potatoes in a large pot of salted water.
- Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and set aside.
2. Cook the Onions:
- While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
3. Combine Ingredients:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Once the onions are caramelized, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, caramelized onions, heavy whipping cream, chopped fresh thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well.
4. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry to fit into your pie dish, making sure to leave extra pastry hanging over the edges.
- Place the pastry sheet into the pie dish and gently press it down to fit the shape of the dish.
5. Fill the Pie:
- Pour the potato and onion mixture into the puff pastry-lined pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
6. Cover with Puff Pastry:
- Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry to fit over the top of the pie.
- Place the puff pastry over the filling, trimming any excess pastry from the edges.
- Press the edges of the top and bottom pastry sheets together and crimp to seal.
7. Apply Egg Wash:
- Brush the beaten egg over the top of the puff pastry to ensure a golden, glossy finish.
8. Bake the Pie:
- Use a small knife to cut a few slits in the top of the pie to allow steam to escape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crispy.
9. Serve:
- Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving.
- Slice and enjoy your delicious, hearty vegetarian pie!

Tips:

- Make sure to slice the potatoes thinly and evenly to ensure they cook uniformly and become tender.

- Caramelize the onions slowly over a medium heat for a deep, rich flavor.

- Pre-cook the puff pastry sheets slightly before adding the filling to ensure a crispy bottom.

- Brush the top of the pie with a beaten egg for a beautiful golden-brown finish.

- Allow the pie to cool slightly before cutting; this helps the filling set and makes slicing easier.

- Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to the filling for added variety.

There you have it, a delectable and easy vegetarian pie ready to be enjoyed! The combination of creamy potatoes, savory onions, and aromatic thyme wrapped in a crisp puff pastry is sure to please everyone at the table. This pie is a testament to the fact that simple, wholesome ingredients can create an outstanding meal. Bon appétit!
