Lenten pies with potatoes

Lenten potato pies are so tasty that you will want to cook them at other times of the year. Yes, and they look very appetizing: a strong brew is responsible for the ruddy crust, with which the products are lubricated from above (instead of the yolk or whole eggs). Such pastries, hot or cold, can be served with a family tea party, as well as taken to work as a lunch, supplemented, for example, with a salad of fresh vegetables. Be sure to treat colleagues with lean potato pies, especially those who think that food without meat cannot be tasty. Everyone will love it!
