Potato Pie

When I saw Shepherd´s Pie at Stevita´s Kitchen, I thougt my kids´d like it. I´d rather call that Potato Pie, it´s called "Pastel Tutup" in Indonesian. Whatever the name is, its taste so good. Instead of making homemade mashed potato, I´ve used Kartoffel Püree/mashed potato powder. My oldest son has told me that Pie becomes one of his favourite food. No wonder, nothing left for me!. Thank you Wita.

Ingredients:
3 packs (3x100g) Kartoffel (potatoes) Püree
1 liter warmed milk
1 tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
salt, pepper, nutmeg, as desired
100 g grated cheese, only for topping
Mix all of ingredients together


for filling:
Stir fried minced beef and vegetables
500 g minced beef
5 carrots, cut into small pieces
500 g string beans, cut into small pieces
1 onion, finely sliced
3 cloves garlics, crushed
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
salt, as desired
3 tablespoons cooking oil

Note: I´ve used only a half of filling for this recipe.

Sambil senyum-senyum( lha masih malem koq udah mikirin makan buat besok) tak tanyain mau apa, eh..dijawab mau sosis sama kentang aja. Lhaaa...mau makanan yg gampang2 masaknya pake nanya segala. Berhubung nggak punya persediaan Pommes ya udah dibikinin Kartoffelbrei (seperti kentang puree), kebetulan pernah diajarin sama Beate Finck, ibunya si kembar temen si Dedek.

1 kg kentang, kupas potong-potong seperti untuk sop
25 g butter
1/2 - 1 sdt merica
