How to cook Potato pies with mushrooms

Step 1

Grate the boiled potatoes or mince them. You can use the classic option and mash the potatoes. Choose the option that will give you the consistency you need for the dough.

Step 2

Finely chop the mushrooms and onions, fry in a small amount of oil. Add spices and salt to taste. A mixture of herbs or paprika are good for a bright aroma.

Step 3

Add eggs to the chopped potatoes, salt and pepper to taste. Stir until smooth and dense.

Step 4

Form a small potato patty, put the filling of fried mushrooms and onions in the center. Close the sides and shape into a pie.

Step 5

Dip the resulting pies in flour on each side, then place them on a preheated frying pan with oil. Fry the pies until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

Step 6

Place the finished pies on a paper napkin to remove excess oil. Then serve hot or cold.

Potato pies with mushrooms - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for this recipe?

Yes, sweet potatoes can be used as a substitute for regular potatoes, but keep in mind they may add a slightly sweeter flavor and softer texture to the pies. Adjust cooking times as needed.

How can I make this recipe gluten-free?

To make gluten-free potato pies, ensure your spices and flour are certified gluten-free. Use a gluten-free flour blend or almond flour for coating the pies before frying.

Can I freeze the potato pies for later use?

Yes, you can freeze the uncooked or cooked pies. For best results, freeze them on a baking sheet before transferring to an airtight container. Reheat in a pan or oven until warmed through.

What are some alternative fillings I can use besides mushrooms and onions?

You can try fillings like sautéed spinach and cheese, ground meat, or even a mixture of caramelized carrots and peas for a vegetarian option. Get creative with flavors!

How do I prevent the pies from falling apart while frying?

Ensure the dough is well-mixed and not too wet. Chilling the formed pies for 15–20 minutes before frying can help them hold their shape better during cooking.

Can I bake these pies instead of frying them?

Yes, you can bake them at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown. Lightly brush with oil for a crispier texture.

What dipping sauces pair well with these potato pies?

Sour cream, garlic aioli, spicy Sriracha mayo, or a tangy yogurt-based herb sauce all complement the earthy flavors of the pies beautifully.

How long can I store leftover potato pies in the fridge?

Leftover pies can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or oven for the best texture.
