Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a yeast jellied pie with potatoes and onions in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients for the filling. Use unscented vegetable oil.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the pre-peeled potatoes and cut into thin slices.

Step 3

Step 3
Place the potatoes in boiling salted water and bring to a boil. Cook the potatoes over medium heat until half cooked. Remove the potato slices with a slotted spoon and let cool.

Step 4

Step 4
Peel the onions, wash them, cut them into thin half rings or feathers.

Step 5

Step 5
In a frying pan with vegetable oil, fry the onions, stirring occasionally, until soft. Read about how to choose the ideal frying pan, as well as how to choose the right vegetable oil in separate articles, links at the end of the recipe.

Step 6

Step 6
Measure out the ingredients for the dough. Dry yeast can be replaced with fresh yeast. How to do this correctly, read the link after the recipe description.

Step 7

Step 7
Dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water while stirring. The water should be exactly warm. In cold water the yeast will not activate, but in too hot it will die.

Step 8

Step 8
Pour in vegetable oil, stir.

Step 9

Step 9
Sift flour mixed with salt into a bowl. It is important to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. Then the baked goods will turn out airy and rise well during baking. You can read more about flour in the article at the link at the end of the recipe. Do not pour out all the flour at once. You may need less or more of it. Add about ¾ of the amount of flour, mix the dough with a whisk. It is better to add the remaining flour as needed during the kneading process.

Step 10

Step 10
The consistency of the dough is medium thick, like pancakes.

Step 11

Step 11
Cover the dough and leave in a warm place to rise for about 45-50 minutes. Focus not on the rising time, but on the appearance and volume of the dough. It should increase at least 2 times. Bubbles will appear on the surface.

Step 12

Step 12
Cover the bottom of the baking dish with parchment and grease the sides with vegetable oil. In this case, a mold with a diameter of 22-23 cm is suitable. If the mold is silicone, you don’t have to grease it. Information about choosing a form can be read in the article at the link after the recipe description. I also lined the pan with strips of parchment paper to make the cake easy to remove after baking. Gently knead the dough, stirring with a spoon. Pour about half of the dough into the mold.

Step 13

Step 13
Place potato slices overlapping onto the dough. If desired, sprinkle the potatoes with spices, such as ground black pepper.

Step 14

Step 14
Spread the fried onions evenly over the potatoes.

Step 15

Step 15
Pour the remaining dough over the filling, spreading it with a spoon so that the filling is completely covered. Turn on the oven at 180 C.

Step 16

Step 16
Leave the future pie on the table for 10-15 minutes to allow it to rise a little.

Step 17

Step 17
Bake the pie in an oven preheated to 180 C for about 40 minutes until golden brown. The baking time and mode will depend on the operating characteristics of your oven. For useful information on this topic, read the article at the link at the end of the recipe. Check the readiness of the pie with a wooden skewer. It should come out dry from the middle of the pie, without particles of adhering dough.

Step 18

Step 18
The finished pie can be greased with a small amount of vegetable oil on top. Cool the pie slightly in the pan, then remove.

Step 19

Step 19
Cut the pie with potatoes and onions into portions and serve warm. Bon appetit!
