Potato Pie (Baked)

Since I got a great review of the Cassava and Saltfish Pie recipe by my facebook fans, I decided to do a baked potato pie recipe  you all . Now, I have to distinguish between what kind of pie I’m talking about. This is because in Trini, a pie could mean ..

  1. A fried dough usually filled with meat or potatoes e.g potato or aloo pie
  2. A pastry that’s filled with meat or cheese etc e.g beef pie, cheese pie
  3. A mixture of a starch (potato, cassava, yam) or pasta (macaroni)  cheese, butter, egg, milk and seasonings baked in an oven e.g Macaroni Pie or Corn Pie
  4. Or more internationally known “A baked dish which is usually made of a pastry dough casing that covers or completely contains a filling of various sweet or savoury ingredients” e.g. Apple pie, Chicken pot pie etc

So you see my predicament and so it is with many other words we have in Trinidad and Tobago many of which is just normal everyday talk. Here’s an example of a word that’s confused: Saffron. When we say saffron in Trini we actually mean Turmeric or Hardi. I have no idea how this came to be…I don’t even have an answer for that one. Is so ah meet it lol!!

On the topic of pies I have a little rant….I just find that some bakeries in Trinidad does real skimp on the filling when making their pastry pies. Sometimes the beef pies just have a  beef   flavoured,  floury, filling and no meat at all. Like my father in law would say, “like de cow just pass through?” Hahaha lol!!  When I bite into a savoury and ever flaky beef pie, I want to taste and see some minced beef in there too. So, put some meat in de pies please allyuh! lol!! ….Ok now I feel better. :-)

Anyhow, not to confuse you anymore, here’s Baked Potato Pie.

Enjoy!

      You shouldn’t replace your Macaroni pie. Just alternate the two so you can enjoy both :)
