Steps to make the savory pie with potatoes speck and mushrooms
To prepare the savory pie with potatoes and speck, first wash the potatoes, peel them, and cut them into not too large pieces. Take a pot and boil them in water with salt for about 15 minutes from boiling point, then drain them. Meanwhile, finely chop a red onion and set aside. Do the same with the sliced speck, cutting it into strips. Now take a large non-stick pan, pour in some extra virgin olive oil, and sauté the chopped red onion, speck strips, and drained mushrooms, sauté for a couple of minutes. Add the potatoes, sauté everything for 5 minutes, and turn off the heat.
Meanwhile, unroll a sheet of shortcrust pastry and let it sit at room temperature for a moment. Meanwhile, preheat the static oven to 390 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, beat 2 eggs, add 3 tablespoons of grated parmesan, the previous mixture with potatoes, onion, speck, and mushrooms, and adjust with salt and pepper. Mix well and pour everything on the shortcrust pastry base. Seal the edges well and bake at 390 degrees for about 30 minutes. It should be nicely golden.
Your savory pie is ready to be taken out of the oven and served!

If you don’t like red onion, you can choose white onion.
If you have puff pastry at home, you can make the same recipe instead of the shortcrust pastry.
