Savory Beef
Shredded Potato Pie

A rustic, incredibly easy skillet pie featuring a tender layer of seasoned minced beef over a golden, crispy-edged shredded potato and egg crust.

Ingredients

• 1 lb potatoes
• 1 portion minced beef
• 3 eggs
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp chicken bouillon
• to taste minced rosemary
• to taste minced garlic
• as needed cooking oil
• optional chili powder

Instructions

1. 1Prepare the sauce base

   

   Start by preparing the flavor base for the minced beef. Squeeze a generous portion of mayonnaise into a transparent measuring cup or a small mixing bowl. This will soon be combined with black pepper, soy sauce, and salt to create a rich marinade.

   Tip: Mayonnaise adds excellent fat and moisture to the minced beef, ensuring the meat stays tender and juicy during the baking process without feeling greasy.
2. 2Mix the beef seasoning

   

   Pour the prepared sauce, consisting of mayonnaise, black pepper, soy sauce, and salt, into a red bowl containing minced beef. Add minced rosemary and garlic according to personal preference, and mix everything thoroughly.

   Tip: If you prefer a spicy kick, feel free to add a little chili powder during the marinating process.
3. 3Prep and shred the potatoes

   

   Peel one pound of potatoes and shred them into a clear container using a wooden tool to assist.

   Tip: You can cut the potatoes into chunks, strips, or shreds—shredding helps them cook evenly and meld with the beef.
4. 4Season the shredded potatoes

   

   Crack 3 eggs into the container with the shredded potatoes, adding an extra egg if you prefer a juicier texture. Season with a little garlic, salt, and chicken bouillon, then mix well.

   Tip: The potato mixture will appear slightly wet, but do not worry as the moisture will cook through completely during baking.
5. 5Grease the baking pan

   

   Find an oven-safe pan and use a silicone brush to apply a layer of oil evenly across the surface to prevent sticking.

   Tip: A non-stick pan works great since the baking temperature is moderate, but you can also use a dedicated baking dish if preferred.
6. 6Layer the potato base

   

   Transfer the prepared shredded potato mixture directly into the greased skillet to form the bottom crust of the pie.

   Tip: Spread the potato shreds evenly across the bottom of the pan to ensure a uniform base.
7. 7Assemble and bake the pie

   

   Top the layer of shredded potatoes in the skillet with the seasoned minced beef mixture. Bake in the oven at 170 degrees for 40 minutes.

   Tip: Once out of the oven, use a silicone spatula to loosen the edges or invert it onto a plate to serve easily.
