Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make the filling for potato pies? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Take any potatoes — young or old. The taste will just be different. Choose greens according to your taste. Personally, I love the combination of potatoes with onions and dill.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the potatoes thoroughly, peel them, and rinse again.

Step 3

Step 3
Cut the potatoes into roughly the same size pieces so that all the potatoes cook at the same time. The smaller the pieces, the faster it will cook.

Step 4

Step 4
Place the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with clean, cold water. Cover the pan with a lid and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 15-25 minutes. Cooking time will depend on your stove and how you cut your potatoes. There is no need to salt the potatoes.

Step 5

Step 5
While the potatoes are cooking, remove the wilted parts from the greens and rinse them under running water. Dry the greens thoroughly with cotton or paper towels.

Step 6

Step 6
Chop fresh herbs using a knife or blender. I like the pieces of greenery to be visible in the filling, so I do it with a knife. Bring the milk to a boil and immediately remove from the heat — we need the milk to make puree.

Step 7

Step 7
Check the potatoes for doneness. This can be done as follows: pierce the potato with a knife; if, when lifted, the potato falls back, it means it’s ready; if it rises on the knife, boil for some more time and check again. Drain all the water from the pan.

Step 8

Step 8
Pour boiled milk into the potatoes and add butter. Add oil as desired, or without it. Puree the potatoes using a potato masher. Many people make puree in a blender. This method will not work for us, as the result is a heavy and very sticky puree. It will be difficult to work with him. You need to grind the potatoes while they are still hot; doing this later will be problematic.

Step 9

Step 9
Add chopped herbs to the mashed potatoes, add salt and mix the mashed potatoes thoroughly until smooth. The filling for potato pies is ready. Stuff pies with it only when it has cooled, otherwise you may ruin the dough.
