Patatopita

Ingredients

for the dough:

2 eggs

0.5 tsp salt

6 tbsp olive oil

2 cups flour

1000 g potatoes

1 cup rice

2 cups 4% milk

3/4 cup olive oil

Salt to taste

Patatopita is a Greek pie filled with regular potatoes and rice.

Crack one egg into a bowl, beat with salt and 3 tbsp olive oil, then add flour and knead into an elastic dough. Roll it into a ball, cover with a napkin, and let rest for 15-20 minutes.

 Wash, peel, and boil the potatoes until tender (about 20 minutes). Drain. Rinse the rice, boil for 7-10 minutes, and drain in a colander. Heat the milk. Pour the hot milk over the potatoes and mash thoroughly. Add the rice, olive oil, nutmeg, and mint, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Grease a round baking pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Roll the dough into a large circle and place it in the pan, allowing the edges to hang slightly over the top.

Add the filling. Fold the excess dough inward. Beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon of butter and brush the pie with it. Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the patatopita for 30-40 minutes.

Enjoy!
