How to choose the right ingredients
To ensure that your meat and potato pie turns out great, be sure to ensure the freshness and quality of the ingredients. For the dough, take premium wheat flour - with such flour the dough always succeeds. It's better to buy flour in packs. Products weighed by weight absorb a lot of moisture and will quickly spoil in your home.
For the filling, use potatoes rich in starch - they hold their shape well and do not fall apart during cooking. For the meat component, I used pork, but you can use whatever your family likes best. The main thing is that the meat is fresh and not too fatty. When buying it on the market, pay attention to the conditions in which the products are stored. Since meat spoils quickly, a refrigerator is a must.

How to cook
The meat must be washed and cut into strips (not too thin, but so that it cooks quickly). Next, you need to salt it, add pepper to taste and mix well. Then the meat is placed in a heated frying pan. There is no need to add oil, since juice will definitely come out of the layer. The meat in the pan should be stirred constantly. Then add onion, cut into pieces, and carrots, which must first be grated. Sliced mushrooms and bell peppers are also added to the frying pan. Fry the food when half cooked.
Now let's move on to potatoes. It needs to be peeled, washed, cut into slices. In general, you can choose how to cut the potatoes (slices or circles). But it’s better in circles, it will cook faster. Next, add salt to the potatoes, add your favorite spices and cover with mayonnaise. Then all the ingredients from the frying pan are transferred to the potatoes. All this needs to be mixed carefully.
Prepare a baking tray in advance. It must be lubricated with oil so that nothing burns. We put potatoes with meat and vegetables on it, distribute it over its entire surface. The oven should be preheated to 180 degrees. Place the baking sheet there and wait about 40 minutes. Constantly taste the potatoes. About ten minutes before cooking, sprinkle the potatoes with grated cheese.
As you can see, cooking pork with cheese and potatoes in the oven is quite simple. There are many different recipes that include a variety of ingredients. Moreover, you can make your own selection of ingredients for pork with cheese and potatoes in the oven. Various vegetables, spices and marinades go well with these products.

How to decorate a pie
You might want to take this pie with you when you go to visit, or someone comes to visit you. Then the appearance of the finished dish should be no worse than its taste.

What to serve with
A piece of such a pie can replace a whole lunch, since it combines bread, potatoes and meat. Make a light salad for it - this will be enough for a tasty meal. Also, such a pie will decorate any holiday table, as it has a very attractive appearance. The pie tastes best when it’s still warm, but it’s also very good cold. This dish is a great idea for a picnic, or when you need to take lunch to work.
Preparation
In a bowl, mix melted butter, sour cream, 1 egg, baking soda and salt.
If your sour cream is thick enough, add the first 2 cups of flour and look at the consistency: you want to knead a very soft dough that will not stick to your hands or the walls of the bowl.
If this is not enough, add the remaining flour and continue kneading.
After this kneading, divide the dough into two portions. One portion should be slightly smaller than the other.
As a result, most of it will go to the base of the pie, and the smaller part will go to the top. Wrap them in plastic wrap and set aside to let the dough rest.
Turn on the oven - let it warm up to 190 degrees Celsius. Finely chop the onion.
First cut the meat into small cubes.
And then cut it as finely as possible (I advise you not to use minced meat, but finely chopped).
First cut the potatoes into flat slices and then into small cubes.
Combine meat, onion and potatoes in a separate bowl.
Add salt and spices and mix well. Set the filling aside for now.
Take a larger ball of dough and place it on a greased counter. Use your fingers to press it into a flat circle.
Using a rolling pin, roll it out into a circle about 35-40 cm. Carefully place the circle of dough on top of a baking sheet lined with foil and greased with oil. I usually roll the layer around a rolling pin and gently roll it onto a baking sheet. The dough is very soft, it should not cause much trouble in working.
Spread the filling evenly over the bottom layer, leaving 2 cm free on all sides.
In the same way, roll out the second ball of dough into a thin layer, making it slightly smaller than the previous one. Cover the top with the filling and crimp the edges nicely.
Beat an egg with a tablespoon of water and brush it onto the pie using a pastry brush. Make small cuts in the top of the dough so that steam from the filling can escape freely during baking and the top crust does not swell.
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake until the cake is golden brown (usually 25-30 minutes). Cool the finished yeast-free meat pie and serve it warm as an addition to soups or as an independent snack. Bon appetit!

Pie preparation options

. It is prepared in the same way as pizza. The filling is laid out on the rolled out dough, sprinkled with any grated cheese or filled with egg. You can bake this pie in the oven. - Meat and potato pie can also be prepared with kefir
. Then kefir is added to the dough instead of sour cream. You can also add sour milk. This is not important. In my opinion, the taste of dough prepared with kefir, sour cream or sour milk is the same. - Pies with various fillings began to be prepared a very long time ago. In Rus', not a single holiday was complete without a pie. Housewives cooked, etc. Since meat gives strength and supports vital energy, it was considered the best filling for a pie.
The aroma of delicious baked goods fills the house with special comfort. I often bake cookies or cakes, but somehow it didn’t work out with savory baked goods. It always seemed too difficult to bake a delicious meat and potato pie. But a friend suggested the recipe - it turned out to be very simple and the pie turned out excellent the first time.

. You can make an aster from a bow. You need to cut the onion lengthwise so that you get aster petals. If you take a red onion, the flower will turn out even more spectacular. - Our potato and meat pie is cooked in the oven, so it needs to be decorated while it has cooled down. Mayonnaise can be placed in a pastry bag
and any designs can be made. - You can sprinkle herbs
, but this must be done just before serving. - Our pie is served chilled
. Firstly, hot dough is harmful, and secondly, a chilled pie tastes better. It is served as a separate, completely independent dish. You can serve chopped vegetables with the pie.
