Potato and leek pie

Potato and leek pie is a savory and comforting dish that combines the mild, subtle flavor of leeks with the heartiness of potatoes and the creamy tang of feta cheese. This recipe is perfect for a hearty meal, whether it's a casual family dinner or a special occasion.

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
250g
1/2 cup butter
110g
1 egg
50g
1 tbsp water
16g
1 leek
180g
1 potato
200g
1/2 cup feta cheese
120g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 tsp olive oil
9g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pastry:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and butter. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Beat the egg and incorporate into the flour mixture. Add the water and mix until the dough starts to come together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently into a smooth ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Filling:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and slices of leek, sautéing until they are tender and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the diced potato to the skillet and cook until the potato is soft, about 10-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove from heat and fold in the crumbled feta cheese. Stir until well combined and set aside.
3. Assemble the Pie:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle large enough to fit your pie dish (approximately 9 inches in diameter). Carefully transfer the dough to the pie dish, pressing it into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough.
- Pour the leek and potato filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
4. Bake the Pie:
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is heated through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
5. Serve:
- Slice the potato and leek pie and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious, homemade pie!

Tips:

- Ensure the butter is cold before mixing it with the flour for the crust. This helps in creating a flaky texture.

- When slicing the leeks, make sure to clean them thoroughly as they can often have dirt trapped between the layers.

- Cook the potatoes until they are just tender. Overcooking can make them mushy and alter the texture of the pie.

- Add a touch of milk or cream to the filling if you prefer a creamier consistency.

- If you do not have feta cheese, you can substitute with another crumbly cheese like goat cheese or ricotta.

- To prevent a soggy bottom crust, you can pre-bake (blind bake) the crust before adding the filling.

- Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing, as this helps to set the filling and makes for cleaner slices.

Enjoy your homemade potato and leek pie, a dish that is sure to please with its crispy crust and flavorful filling. Perfect as a standalone meal or paired with a fresh green salad, this pie is a delightful addition to any table.
