Potato Sausage Pie Recipes

SAUSAGE & MASH PIE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently cook the sausages over a medium-high heat for 10-12 mins, turning them until browned on all sides. Transfer to a plate, then put the butter in the pan and heat until sizzling. Tip in the onions, stirring them into the butter, then sprinkle over the sugar and fry for 8-10 mins until the onions are golden. Scatter over the flour and stir to make a paste, then add the tomato purée. Cook for a minute, then add the vinegar, pour in the stock and bring to the boil. Turn down to a simmer. Tip in any juices from the sausages, then cut the sausages into thick slices and add to the pan. Simmer everything together for 5 mins until you have a glossy onion gravy. Tip the mixture into a baking dish.
• To make the mash, tip the potatoes into a pan of cold salted water and bring to the boil, then turn down and simmer for 10-12 mins or until just cooked (the tip of a knife should slide in easily). Drain and leave for a minute. Pour the milk into the pan and bring to a simmer, then tip in the drained potatoes and butter, and mash thoroughly. Season to taste.
• Top the sausages and gravy with the mash, starting from the edge of the dish and working your way into the middle. Use a fork to scrape lines in the topping and scatter over the cheese, if using. Can be assembled, covered and chilled for up to two days or frozen for three months. Defrost completely before cooking. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bake the pie on a tray for 35-40 mins until the top has browned. Leave to cool for 5 mins before scooping straight from the baking dish at the table and serving with peas, if you like.

SAUSAGE PIE IN CRISPY POTATO CRUST

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with nonstick spray.
• Spread the hash browns over a layer of paper towels to air-dry for 10 to 15 minutes (alternatively, you can press them vigorously between layers of paper towels 2 to 3 times).
• In a medium bowl, stir the dried hash browns, melted butter, Parmesan and pepper together. Press the mixture into the base and evenly up the sides of the prepared skillet. Transfer to the oven and bake until the potatoes begin to become golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, for the filling: Toss the sausage, scallions and 3/4 cup of the Cheddar in a medium bowl to combine.
• In another medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper and hot sauce, if using.
• Carefully press the sausage mixture into the browned crust. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar. Carefully transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the crust is deeply browned and very crisp and the filling appears set when you gently shake the skillet, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

ROAST POTATO, TURKEY, SAUSAGE & STUFFING PIE

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter in a large, shallow ovenproof casserole dish. Add the onion and cook for 10 mins until really soft. Push the onion to one side of the dish and add the sausages, browning them all over (skip this step if you're using cooked leftovers).
• Remove the sausages from the dish and set aside to cool a little. Stir the mustard powder, flour and stock cube into the oil and butter for 1-2 mins, then add the white wine. Bubble for 1 min, scraping the bottom of the dish to release any tasty bits, then add the stock. Stir to make a smooth sauce, season and bubble for 5 mins. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Cut the sausages and stuffing into bite-sized chunks, add to the sauce with the turkey, mustard, crème fraîche and parsley. When bubbling, remove from the heat. Crumble the potatoes in your hands over the top of the filling, so you have some larger and smaller chunks. Scatter with cheese and bake for 40 mins until the potatoes are crisp and the filling is bubbling around the edges.

SAUSAGE AND POTATO PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 12-inch skillet over moderately high heat for 1 minute.
• Add the red pepper and zucchini and sauté, stirring occasionally until soft, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the garlic, black pepper and basil, and sauté 2 minutes longer.
• Add the sausage, breaking up any clumps, and sauté until no longer pink but not quite cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Toss the potatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
• Spread 1/4 of the potatoes, overlapping slightly, over the bottom of a lightly greased 10-inch pie pan or a 13" x 9" x 2" baking dish.
• Spread 1/3 of the skillet mixture on top, followed by 1/3 each of the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Press each layer down with your hands.
• Repeat the layers twice, finishing with a top layer of potatoes.
• Cover the pie with foil, set in the lower third of the oven, and bake for 40 minutes.
• Remove the foil and bake until the potatoes are crisp and cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes more.
• Remove the pie from oven and let stand for 10 minutes at room temperature. Carefully pour off any fat, then cut the pie into wedges. Serves 6.
