Potato and Herb Pie
Description
I suggest making a delicious pie. For the filling of the pastries, you need to boil the potatoes in advance and prepare mashed potatoes with herbs and spices. Herbs and spices can be added to your liking. The yogurt listed in the ingredients can be replaced with kefir or soured milk. For the dough I use olive oil. Make this pie—it’s convenient to break it into individual pastries and take them to work, to school for the kids, or on a picnic. It can be served with tea or coffee.
