How to make meat pie with puff pastry at home:
- Take the frozen puff pastry out of the freezer in advance and thaw it in the fridge overnight.
- Preheat oven at 350ºF/180°C.
- In a deep bowl, combine ground beef with thinly chopped onion and pressed garlic.
- Peel potatoes and grate them into the bowl with minced meat using a coarse grater.
- Season filling for your pie with salt and black pepper according to your taste. Thoroughly stir the mixture until well combined.
- Take a baking pan with a rectangular shape and cover it with parchment paper. Roll out 1 package of puff pastry on a floured surface and divide it into two parts (for the top and bottom). Now, take one part of the pastry and drape it over the baking pan. Press it in carefully.
- Turn all the stuffing into the baking pan. Even out the mixture with a spoon.
- Take the second half of puff pastry to cover the pie with it, thoroughly pressing every corner and edge of the pie.
- Separate egg yolk from the white. Nicely whisk egg yolk and brush the pie for a nice glaze. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the surface.
- Bake savory pie for 50 minutes. Do not worry! This time will be enough to cook through the stuffing and the baking temperature is not too high to burn the puff pastry.

Notes
The pie was very simple to make and now I am obsessed with it. You do not have to prepare filling in advance. You just combine the ingredients, layer the inside of a baking pan with puff pastry, transfer the filling and cover it with the second sheet of pastry. And the only thing that is left to do is to bake your pie in the oven. All the questions you can leave in the comment section below.
