Sausage Pie In Crispy Potato Crust Recipes

SAUSAGE AND POTATO PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 12-inch skillet over moderately high heat for 1 minute.
• Add the red pepper and zucchini and sauté, stirring occasionally until soft, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the garlic, black pepper and basil, and sauté 2 minutes longer.
• Add the sausage, breaking up any clumps, and sauté until no longer pink but not quite cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Toss the potatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
• Spread 1/4 of the potatoes, overlapping slightly, over the bottom of a lightly greased 10-inch pie pan or a 13" x 9" x 2" baking dish.
• Spread 1/3 of the skillet mixture on top, followed by 1/3 each of the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Press each layer down with your hands.
• Repeat the layers twice, finishing with a top layer of potatoes.
• Cover the pie with foil, set in the lower third of the oven, and bake for 40 minutes.
• Remove the foil and bake until the potatoes are crisp and cooked through, 5 to 10 minutes more.
• Remove the pie from oven and let stand for 10 minutes at room temperature. Carefully pour off any fat, then cut the pie into wedges. Serves 6.

SAUSAGE PIE IN CRISPY POTATO CRUST

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with nonstick spray.
• Spread the hash browns over a layer of paper towels to air-dry for 10 to 15 minutes (alternatively, you can press them vigorously between layers of paper towels 2 to 3 times).
• In a medium bowl, stir the dried hash browns, melted butter, Parmesan and pepper together. Press the mixture into the base and evenly up the sides of the prepared skillet. Transfer to the oven and bake until the potatoes begin to become golden brown and crisp, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, for the filling: Toss the sausage, scallions and 3/4 cup of the Cheddar in a medium bowl to combine.
• In another medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper and hot sauce, if using.
• Carefully press the sausage mixture into the browned crust. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar. Carefully transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the crust is deeply browned and very crisp and the filling appears set when you gently shake the skillet, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SAVOURY SAUSAGEMEAT PIE

Steps:

• Prepare the mashed potato or make up the instant potato as instructed on the packet. Peel, core and slice the apple. Peel and chop the onion. Slice the fresh tomatoes, or drain and slice the tinned tomatoes.
• Place the apple slices in the base of a greased, ovenproof dish. Sprinkle with the sugar. If using sausages, slit the sausage skins to remove the sausage meat and dispose of the skins. Mix the chopped onion with the sausage meat or skinned sausages and spread the sausage mixture over the apples.
• Spoon the mashed potato round the dish to make a border or nest for the sausage. Cover the sausage with the tomatoes. Dot the potato with the butter, and bake in an oven (400F/200C/Gas Mark 6) for 30 minutes, until the sausage is cooked and the potato is crisp and golden brown on top.
