Country Style Potato Onion Pie Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Cook's Tip: A word about cheese. I use jack cheese, fontina, gruyere cheese, cheddar, but I like fontina and jack cheese the best. For the milk mixture, I use a combination of sour cream, heavy cream and 2% milk, which is what I had on hand. You can use all milk, or all cream, or mix it up. Use what you like. Experiment to your hearts content. This is a fun recipe for that!
• 2. Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 10 inch glass pie dish with Pam.
• 3. Scatter 2 teaspoons of garlic on bottom of Pam sprayed pie dish. Put half of the sliced potatoes on top of the garlic, overlapping the slices. Add half of the onion slices. Add salt and pepper (go easy on the pepper) Sprinkle 1/3 cup of cheese (your choice) over the onions evenly. Repeat the layer of garlic, potatoes, onions, and salt, pepper. Add the milk mixture evenly over the top, and then add the remaining 2/3 cup of cheese of choice, plus, the 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese.
• 4. Cover the pie with foil and bake 30 minutes, uncover and bake 30 minutes more. You may want to do a low broil to brown the top. Cut into wedges to serve. Enjoy!
• 5. Cook's Note: I also have a Tater and Onion Pie with ham that is another variation of this recipe and it is posted.

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into cubes. Boil them in slightly salted water until they start to soften. Remove them while still slightly hard and drain thoroughly.
• Mix the potatoes, onion and carrot and place them in the pie crust.
• Dissolve the mushroom stock cube in water then pour it into the pie.
• Beat the eggs with the milk, then pour it into the pie.
• Sprinkle the oregano and aniseed over the potatoes, and then the parmesan cheese over the top.
• Add the pie crust top and bake for around 30 minutes at 170°C.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute onions in oil until soft but not browned; drain well. In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Stir in the bread crumbs, cheese, parsley and onions. , Place in a greased 10-in. pie plate. Bake at 350° until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• In a buttered 13x9 inch baking dish, place 1/3 of the potatoes and 1/3 of the onions; sprinkle with salt and pepper and dot with 1/3 of the butter.
• Do this twice more.
• Cover and bake for 45 minutes or until tender.
• Uncover and bake until top is lightly browned.
• Remove from oven, let cool for 5 minutes.
• Loosen around edge and invert on a heat-proof platter.
• Sprinkle cheese and cayenne on top and return to oven to brown cheese.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. In a small bowl, mix the grated cheddar with the crème fraîche, then set aside. Grease and lightly flour a ceramic or metal pie dish, or shallow cake tin, about 23cm wide. Roll out two-thirds of the pastry on a lightly floured surface until large enough to line the tin with a little overhang.
• Place a layer of potatoes over the tart and scatter over some of the sliced onions, spring onions and chunks of cheese. Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg and paprika. Layer over more potatoes, scatter again with more onions and cheese, then splodge over half the crème fraîche mix. Repeat with 2 more layers (the potatoes will come up way above the pastry), pushing the filling down slightly, then finish with the remaining crème fraîche mix.
• Roll the remaining pastry so it fits over the potatoes. Brush the sides with egg, then lay the pastry over the top. Squeeze the edges together and trim with a knife. Crimp the sides and brush the top all over with egg. Place the pie on a baking sheet, bake for 30 mins, reduce the temperature to 180C/ fan 160C/gas 4, then carry on baking for 1 hr until golden. Leave the pie to rest for 10 mins, then serve straight from the dish cut into slices, with a salad or baked beans on the side.

Steps:

• For pastry, put 1/4 cup of the flour, shortening or lard and 3 tablespoons ice water into bowl.
• Beat until mixture is smooth.
• Add remaining flour.
• Mix until mixture resembles coarse meal, but holds together when pressed into a ball.
• Add water if necessary.
• Divide into two parts.
• Grease a 9-inch pie pan.
• Roll out one part of dough to fit the pan. Set aside.
• For filling, melt 2 tablespoons butter in each of two skillets.
• Add onion slices to one and potato slices to the other.
• Saute each vegetable for 8 to 10 minutes or until onions are soft and potatoes are tender crisp.
• Spread half the cheese into bottom of the pastry lined pan.
• Top with half the onions and half the potatoes. Sprinkle with pepper and seasoning salt.
• Repeat layering.
• Roll out top crust. Arrange over filling.
• Seal edges. Brush with egg-milk mixture. Pierce vent holes.
• Bake at 350 F until golden, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Spray or grease a 9 inch deep dish pie dish or similar sized baking dish.
• Pat shredded potatoes into the baking dish with the edge a little higher than the rest.
• Layer the chopped onions (see Note) on top of the potatoes or mix them together if you prefer.
• Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the potatoes and onions.
• In food processor bowl, using the knife blade, add the salt, pepper, eggs, milk, dry mustard, garlic powder, and paprika.
• Pulse a couple of times.
• Carefully pour mixture over the potato mixture.
• Note: I originally would sauté the onions in a little oil, but now skip that step; you might prefer them that way.
• Bake 45 minutes.
