Smoked Smashed Potato and Meat pie, ( i'm back at my potato kick again ) pic heavy of coarse.
Yes you know I love me some potato and this is a great one I just built today , a blend of a few different things I have seen and done.
Boil enough spuds to fill a spring pan bottom and sides , cut potatoes in half and leave on the peeling. add parchment paper to the bottom of the spring pan put on the ring and trim off the outside. Butter bottom and sides , I like to then season the bottom and sides with salt and pepper.
On a tray a add my hamburger ( 1.72 pound ) and season it up with Lawry's SS, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and GR pepper. Place in fridge until the spuds are fork tender and cooled off a bit.
Get all my veg ready to saute'. for the main , and chop the veg for a salad also.
Spuds are ready and cooled
Now peeling down and flatten them into the bottom and sides of the spring pan.
Smooth this out and add melted butter to the whole area and add a sprinkle of Parm cheese on that
Now off to the smoker with the heat at 325 deg. and cherry chunks for the smoke. It is very cool and windy here today, when I open the smoker the water tray like to steam up a little.
While that is in doing its thing , back to the house and get the veg and sauce going.
Start the carrots and then the onions and celery, peppers last , and the tomate paste , table of prepared mustard and stir that up for a bit . Set this aside , until the meat and spuds are ready .
They took about 35 minutes.
Nice smell and colour on both.
Crumble up the meat and add to the veg mix, with 1 cup of beef broth and simmer this down until it thickens but still moist. I added 1 tablespoon of flour to the mix , just to make sure it is not too loose.
Nice smoke on the hamburger, hard to not eat it just as it was .
Now add the mixture to the potato crust , top that with a good shake of Oregano, add some mozza and sprinkle of peppers and green onions.
Into the house oven at 400 for 25 minutes.
All ready and the moment of truth , if it will come out of the pan and not fall down, lol
OMG , looks good
Ring came right off
And it sliced up nice also.
My plate with a little fresh salad
Well this turned out very nice and a nice not too heavey smoke flavour through the whole pie.
The potato crust held up very nice , Everyone was very happy with the results and they said they enjoyed , but they are biased, and they did not have to cook, lol
I know this was long but again that is me , thanks for making it to the end.
