How to Prepare the Mountain Pie

In the meantime, in a large bowl, mash the potatoes and season them with salt, grated Parmigiano, add the egg, speck, and mushrooms, and then mix everything well.
At this point, unroll the first puff pastry sheet over a 11-inch pie pan, then fill it with the prepared mixture, and finally add the provolone.
Then cover it with the remaining puff pastry sheet, seal the edges well, and brush with a beaten egg.
