Aspic pie with canned fish and potatoes

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a jellied pie with canned fish and potatoes? Take the following products: flour, eggs, kefir, soda and baking powder - for the dough, and for the filling - potatoes and canned fish. Any fish in its own juice or oil is suitable for this pie: pink salmon, saury, sardine, etc. I have ivasi in oil.

2. Step 2:

   

   Prepare the aspic dough: first mix kefir with soda, as soon as the bubbles go, add eggs, salt, and then gradually pour in the sifted flour with baking powder. Note that the flour may take a little more or a little less. Focus on the consistency, the dough should turn out like thick sour cream (see photo). Set the dough aside, and in the meantime, prepare the filling.

3. Step 3:

   

   For the filling, peel a medium-sized potato, thinly slice the tuber into strips. In many recipes, potatoes are used raw, but some varieties of potatoes take a long time to cook and do not have time to bake together with the pie, so I suggest bringing it to half-readiness by throwing it into boiling water and boiling for 5 minutes, or even easier - put it in the microwave for 7 minutes. So it is guaranteed to bake in the pie until ready.

4. Step 4:

   

   I chose the second option: I put the potatoes in a microwave saucepan, added a couple of spoonfuls of water and put it on maximum power in the microwave for 7 minutes. The potatoes are cooked almost to readiness, the rest will get already in the pie!

5. Step 5:

   

   Canned fish (in this case, it's ivasi in oil) drain from the filling and crush with a fork into a homogeneous mass, but not pasty, but with pieces. If you have fish in its own juice, you also need to drain the juice from it and chop it into pieces.

6. Step 6:

   

   Place baking paper in a baking dish and brush it with sunflower oil. If you have a silicone mold, then you can just lightly lubricate it with oil or not lubricate it at all. Lay out half of the dough.

7. Step 7:

   

   Put the potatoes on the dough in an even layer. You can add ground pepper or any dried herbs and spices to your liking.

9. Step 8:

   

   Put a layer of canned fish on the potatoes, level with a spatula.

10. Step 9:

    

    And carefully pour out the remaining batter. Put the pie in a preheated 180 degree oven (you need to turn it on in advance, 10-20 minutes before baking), for 40 minutes. I baked at 180 degrees for 30 minutes, and after half an hour I lowered the heat to 150, but did not open the oven, and baked for another 10 minutes. The time and temperature are indicated approximately, be guided by your technique.

11. Step 10:

    

    When the top layer of baking is slightly browned, check it for readiness: pierce it with a wooden skewer in several places, if the skewer comes out dry, then the pie is ready. The pie turned out ruddy, even golden. Do not take it out of the oven immediately, turn it off and let the pie stand in the oven for another 10 minutes so that it "reaches".

12. Step 11:

    

    Then remove the pie from the oven, after 5 minutes, free it from baking paper.

13. Step 12:

    

    That's how it turned out in the reverse direction. Cover it with a napkin until it cools, the dough will go limp.

14. Step 13:

    

    The aspic pie with canned fish and potatoes is ready. Cut it into portions and serve it on the table. Bon appetit!
