Potato and sausage pies - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute sweet potatoes for a slightly sweeter flavor and added nutrients. Just note that they may require slightly less cooking time and could change the texture of the mash.
Any pre-cooked sausages like smoked, bratwurst, or kielbasa work well. For extra flavor, try spicy Italian or chorizo. Avoid raw sausages as they won't cook through properly.
Store cooled pies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
Absolutely! Replace sausages with sautéed mushrooms, lentils, or vegetarian sausage alternatives. Ensure the filling is well-seasoned for maximum flavor.
For best results, reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven or air fryer for 5-7 minutes. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the crust soggy.
Yes! Freeze uncooked pies on a tray before transferring to a bag. Cook from frozen, adding 2-3 minutes to frying time. Cooked pies also freeze well for up to 1 month.
Try sour cream with chives, spicy ketchup, garlic aioli, or a tangy mustard sauce. The creamy or acidic elements complement the rich pies perfectly.
If dough is sticky, chill it for 30 minutes first. Roll between parchment paper and keep unused portions covered to prevent drying out.
