INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 🥔 1 large baking potato
    • 🐖 1 ½ pounds ground pork
    • 🧅 1 large onion, minced
    • 🧂 ½ teaspoon salt
    • ⚫ ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
    • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
    • 1 pinch ground allspice
    • 💧 ½ cup water
    • 🥧 1 (14.1 ounce) package double-crust pie pastry, thawed

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients.

2

Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

3

Prick potato several times with a fork, place onto a baking sheet, and bake until easily pierced with a fork, about 50-60 minutes. Let cool briefly, discard skin, and mash flesh.

4

In a large skillet, combine mashed potato, ground pork, minced onion, water, black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until very thick, at least 1 hour.

5

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

6

Line a deep-dish pie plate with one pastry shell. Spoon in pork and potato filling.

7

Cover with remaining pastry. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with paprika. Cut a steam vent in the pastry.

8

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Cover edges with foil if they're browning too quickly. Serve warm.
