CRISPY POTATO PIE

Delicious, easy, and quick to make, the CRISPY POTATO PIE, the SAVORY PUFF PASTRY CAKE WITH CRUNCHY POTATOES, PARMESAN, AND CORN FLOUR, is a super tasty recipe for making a special savory pie with potatoes.

Prepare this delightful savory pie for a fun dinner with family or friends, I’m sure it will solve many dinners and lunches because you surely always have a roll of puff pastry in the fridge and potatoes in the pantry.

The secret to having this super crunchy savory pie with potatoes is to slice the potatoes very thin, so use a mandoline or a vegetable peeler to help you, and add the corn flour, as it is this ingredient that will make the pastry crunchy and tasty.

Parmesan and rosemary will add flavor and aroma, and you will feel how good this crunchy potato pie is; you can use round puff pastry as a base, as I did, or with a rectangular roll. Follow me in the recipe, and let’s prepare it together!

  • Difficulty: Very easy

Ingredients

  • 1 roll puff pastry (round)
  • to taste extra virgin olive oil
  • to taste pepper
  • to taste potatoes
  • 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan
  • 3 tablespoons corn flour
  • to taste salt

Steps

  • Start by peeling the potatoes, wash them, dry them, and slice them very thin, using a mandoline or a vegetable peeler to help you. I used two medium potatoes; make sure to cover the entire base well.

    Then take the roll of puff pastry, unroll it, place it in a baking pan so that it is well spread out, and make holes all over the base with the tines of a fork.

  • Pour a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil over the puff pastry and spread it well with a kitchen brush. Cover the base with grated Parmesan. Now place the potatoes on top, slightly overlapping them, covering the entire base, including the edges.

    Season with salt, pepper, add more oil over all the potatoes, more Parmesan to cover everything, corn flour, and finally the rosemary. Bake in a hot preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about half an hour. Serve the crispy potato pie hot and crunchy.
