Double Crust Potato Pie Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Prepare pie crusts as directed on box for two-crust pie, using 9-inch glass pie plate.
• In 12-inch skillet, cook beef and garlic over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain. Transfer beef mixture to large bowl. In same skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add carrots; cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender. Add carrots, potatoes, bacon, thyme and pepper to beef mixture.
• In small bowl, mix broth and cornstarch with whisk; pour into skillet. Heat to boiling over medium heat. Cook about 2 minutes or until thickened. Pour over beef and vegetables; stir to combine. Spoon mixture into crust-lined pie plate.
• Top with second crust; seal edge and flute. Cut slits in several places in top crust. In small bowl, beat egg and water. Brush over top crust.
• Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F; bake 40 to 45 minutes longer or until crust is browned, placing sheet of foil over entire crust for last 20 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Mash the potatoes with 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup milk, salt, and black pepper to make medium-stiff mashed potatoes; stir in the American cheese.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Fit a crust into a 9-inch pie dish, and fill with the potato mixture. Place the top crust on the pie, roll the edges together and crimp with a fork to seal. Stir the melted butter and 2 teaspoons of milk together in a small bowl, and brush the mixture all over the pie crust. Cut several vent holes in the top of the crust.
• Bake the pie in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown, about 45 minutes; if the edges are getting too brown, wrap them in aluminum foil.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Put bottom crust into a 9-inch pie dish; reserve the top crust and chicken for later.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add both potatoes, carrots, green beans, and corn; saute, stirring frequently, until tender, about 10 minutes.
• While the vegetables are cooking, melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk flour into the melted butter until it thickens, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk the vegetable broth into the flour mixture; cook and stir until mixture thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Add sour cream, heavy cream, milk, and seasoning blend; whisk thoroughly and cook sauce until heated through, 2 to 3 more minutes.
• Arrange 1/2 of the vegetables on top of the bottom crust and add 1/2 of the chicken over top. Layer with remaining vegetables, followed by remaining chicken. Ladle sauce over vegetables and chicken. Cover with the top crust, pinching to form a seal around the outer edge. Poke a few steam holes in the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes. covering the crust with foil when it starts to brown. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. The sauce will have thinned but as it rests it will thicken again.

Steps:

• Make the filling: In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the onions, celery and carrots and cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more.
• Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Once melted, stir in the flour. Cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it just starts to turn golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the bay leaf, rosemary and thyme. Adjust the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Stir in the cream, chicken and peas and return to a simmer. Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes more. Remove the mixture from the heat. Stir in the salt and pepper. Ideally, cool it completely. Remove and discard the bay leaf, and stir in the parsley. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if desired.
• Meanwhile, prepare the crust: Have a 10-inch cast-iron or ovenproof skillet ready. On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the pie crust to a thickness of about 1/4 inch, making a circle about 3 inches wider all around than the skillet. Gently transfer the dough to the skillet, lining the bottom and easing it up the sides, allowing any excess to drape over the edge of the pan (aim for about 1 inch excess dough all the way around the pan). Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• While the bottom crust is chilling, roll out the remaining dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/4 inch thick. Gently transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet, then use a pastry wheel to cut it into 1 1/2- to 2-inch wide strips. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Pour the cooled filling into the chilled bottom crust and spread evenly. Remove the chilled dough strips from the fridge. Lay strips over the filling, leaving almost no space between them. When the pie is covered, rotate the pan and pull back every other strip of dough, then weave in a fresh strip to create a lattice. Lay the strips back over the new piece of dough, the repeat the process - this time pulling back all the pieces of dough that didn't get moved the first time. Continue until the entire pie is latticed.
• Press the dough together at the edges all the way around the pie; use scissors to trim away any excess dough, then fold the bottom crust up and over the lattice. Dip your finger in water and run it along the edges to help seal it. Use a floured fork to press around the edges to seal the dough together and crimp the crust. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and place a rack in the lower third of the oven. Brush the egg mixture over the top of the pie and sprinkle it with Parmesan. Bake for 30 minutes; lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees F and continue baking until the crust is deeply golden brown (the filling may bubble through the top crust a bit), 40 to 50 minutes more.
