Ingredients

Ingredients List

  • 1 large baking potato

  • 1 ½ pounds ground pork

  • 1 large onion, minced

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

  • 1 pinch ground allspice

  • ½ cup water

  • 1 (14.1 ounce) package double-crust pie pastry, thawed

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • ¼ teaspoon paprika, or to taste


Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

  2. Prick potato several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool for 10 minutes, then discard skin and mash flesh. Turn the oven off.

  3. Place mashed potato into a large skillet with ground pork, onion, water, pepper, cinnamon, cloves, and allpsice. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until very thick, at least 1 hour.

  4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  5. Line a deep-dish pie plate with one pastry. Spoon in pork and potato filling, then cover with remaining pastry. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with paprika. Cut a steam vent in pastry.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. If the edges brown too fast, cover them with a strip of foil. Serve warm.
