This procedure can be done within an hour.

   While the dough is resting in the refrigerator, we are engaged in filling. Peel the potatoes and cut them very thinly. I used an electric grater with a slice nozzle. You can use a regular potato peeler.

    Cut the onion into rings, you can use half rings.

    From the rest of the dough, we form the upper crust and make a big hole with our fingers.

15. Step 14:

    

    It's better to plug the hole. An onion is suitable for this. You can use half a potato. Before plugging the hole, I pour 1/3 of the cooked broth through it. Grease the pie with beaten egg yolk and put it in the oven preheated to 200 degrees. After 20 minutes, we take out another part of the broth through the hole, plug it with an onion and put it back in the oven. After 30 minutes, repeat the procedure.

16. Step 15:

    

    In an hour the pie is ready, but there is one dangerous moment. Potatoes can be a little damp! It is best to pick it out through the hole and try, if it is ready, then everything is fine. If not, I follow my grandmother's method. Right with the mold, I wrap the pie in baking paper, then in a towel and put it under the pillow for about an hour. From the heat, the potatoes reach and the pie does not burn.

    The pie should cool down, although for those who succeed, cut into pieces and serve to the table.
