How to prepare the savory pie with speck and potatoes

Let’s start preparing the savory pie with potatoes and speck, peel the potatoes
and cut them into small pieces,
pour some extra virgin olive oil into a pan, add a sprig of rosemary and a clove of garlic, let it season for a few minutes
add the potatoes
and a pinch of salt, cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. When they are ready, they should still be firm, as they will continue to cook in the oven. Remove them from the heat and let them cool.
Take the puff pastry and cut the two lateral parts into strips of about 0.4 inches.
place half of the speck slices in the center,
the potatoes that will have cooled in the meantime,
the diced pizza mozzarella,
and cover with the remaining speck slices.
Close the upper and lower part to create an edge,
braid the strips to seal the savory pie with speck and potatoes well
brush with the beaten egg
and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Turn on the static oven at 356°F, and when it is hot, bake and cook for 20 minutes. Serve the Savory Pie with Potatoes and Speck hot for a melting effect or at room temperature.
