Cooking pies has always been a reverent affair for the inhabitants of our country. The respectful attitude to pies was especially noticeable in post-war times. In
summer, the filling for pies could be varied.
Pies with eggs, especially with meat, were considered a delicacy
.
It was almost impossible to get these products during the famine years. Therefore, skillful fishermen replaced meat with fish fillets.
Products were scarce, so they prepared baked goods literally from flour, water and potatoes.
We will tell you how to prepare simple potato pies from a few ingredients.
Ingredients for potato pies:
- steep boiling water – 300 ml;
- cheese – 100 g;
- salt – tsp;
- boiled potatoes – 2 pcs;
