• Cut the dough in half and chill the 2 balls of dough until needed.
• Filling:.
• While boiling (40 mins) or steaming (30-40 mins) the potatoes, drain and de-bone the salmon.
• I personally don't like any bones, no matter how soft they are in my pie!
• Once potatoes are done and you can insert a fork into them without resistance, drain water (if boiled) and with a hand mixer start to cream the potatoes.
• Add the butter to the potatoes--as much or as little as you want--and cream together until the butter is melted and evenly distributed.
• Add the milk a 1/2 cup at a time until the potatoes are smooth and creamy, but not too thin nor too thick.
