Ural pie with fish
Description
Tasty baked goods for the whole family. I want to share a family recipe for a delicious Ural‑style fish pie. It can be made with almost any fish, even canned fish. How to bake such a pie is described in detail in the step‑by‑step recipe. Don't be afraid to use raw potatoes, because during the recommended cooking time they bake perfectly, becoming tender and crumbly. If the fish is not fatty enough, you can add a couple of tablespoons of sour cream or cream, which will only improve the taste of the pie. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
