Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make a kefir pie with potatoes? First prepare the filling. In some similar recipes, in addition to potatoes, peeled and finely chopped onion, fresh or fried, is added to the filling. I didn’t add onions, but added a couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise for juiciness. You can replace the garlic with dry granulated garlic, and the dill with parsley or other herbs to taste.

Step 2

Step 2
Wash the potatoes, dry and cut into small cubes or thin circles. I like to cut the potatoes into circles — this way they fit tightly and evenly and the pie has a beautiful cut.

Step 3

Step 3
Peel the garlic and chop finely. Wash the dill, dry it and chop it finely.

Step 4

Step 4
In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the filling: potatoes, garlic, dill, mayonnaise and spices. Instead of these spices, you can add a special mixture of spices for potatoes.

Step 5

Step 5
Mix everything well.

Step 6

Step 6
For the dough, take thicker kefir (for example, 3.2%), a large egg and premium flour.

Step 7

Step 7
Beat the egg with salt until smooth. The white should be well mixed with the yolk.

Step 8

Step 8
Pour in kefir at room temperature and stir.

Step 9

Step 9
Add the flour sifted with soda and mix again. If you are preparing this dough for the first time, add flour in parts to control the consistency. I’ve made this dough many times already, so I pour in all the flour at once and know that the consistency will be the one I need.

Step 10

Step 10
You should get a semi-viscous flowing dough. If everything is done correctly, many small bubbles will appear on the surface of the dough — this means that the reaction of soda with kefir is taking place.

Step 11

Step 11
Pour half of the filling into a baking pan lined with parchment and greased with vegetable oil. The shape should be sufficient for the entire volume of dough and filling. Keep in mind that the cake may rise during baking, and since the dough has not yet set properly, it may leak out of the small pan.

Step 12

Step 12
Place potato slices with mayonnaise and dill on top. Pour the remaining mayonnaise sauce from the bowl over the potatoes.

Step 13

Step 13
Fill the filling with the remaining dough. Place the pie in an oven preheated to 180°C and bake for about 40 minutes until a golden brown crust appears on the surface.

Step 14

Step 14
Remove the finished pie from the mold, cut into pieces and serve hot. Bon appetit!
