Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel and cube the 5 potatoes.
- Place the potato cubes in a large pot of salted water.
- Bring to a boil and cook until they are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese, minced garlic, and chopped thyme.
- Add the cooked potatoes to the bowl and gently mix to combine.
- In a separate bowl, beat the 4 eggs and stir in the 1/2 cup of milk.
- Pour the egg mixture over the potato mixture and combine well.
- Roll out and line two of the puff pastry sheets in a baking dish. Make sure the pastry comes up the sides of the dish.
- Pre-bake these sheets in the oven for about 5 minutes to prevent them from getting soggy later.
- Remove the pre-baked puff pastry from the oven.
- Pour the potato and feta mixture into the baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Place the remaining two sheets of puff pastry on top of the filling to cover it entirely.
- Press the edges of the top and bottom puff pastry sheets together to seal the pie.
- Use a fork to crimp the edges for a secure seal.
- Cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Place the assembled pie in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is set.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, ideal for a picnic setting.
Tips:
- Use a sharp knife or a mandoline to thinly slice the potatoes for even cooking.
- For an extra golden and crispy crust, brush the top layer of puff pastry with egg wash before baking.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs, such as rosemary or oregano, if you don't have thyme available.
- Make sure to preheat your oven to the recommended temperature to ensure even baking.
- Let the pie cool slightly before cutting to allow the filling to set, making it easier to serve neat slices.
And there you have it, a savory, mouth-watering Potato and Feta Picnic Pie that's easy to prepare and perfect for sharing. Whether you're enjoying it at a picnic or a cozy family meal, this pie is sure to be a hit. Happy cooking and enjoy the delightful flavors!
