Ingredients
Scale
1 lb ground beef
1 large russet potato, peeled & finely diced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 tsp salt
6–8 tbsp ice water
Instructions
- Make the pastry: Combine flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until pea-sized crumbs form. Gradually add ice water until dough comes together. Chill for 30 minutes
- Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix ground beef, potato, onion, salt, and pepper. Combine thoroughly
- Assemble the pasties: Roll dough into 6-8 inch circles. Place filling on one half. Fold dough over and crimp edges tightly
- Bake: Place on a baking sheet. Cut a small steam vent in each. Bake at 375°F for 45-50 minutes until golden brow
Notes
Keep butter and water ice-cold for a flaky crust.
Dice the potato very small so it cooks through.
Don't overfill the pasties to prevent bursting.
Seal edges well and brush with egg wash for a golden finish.
Store in fridge for up to 4 days or freeze unbaked.
