👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F). Grease a 24 cm pan.
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOvenBaking pan
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water 20 minutes, until tender.
    StovePot
  3. 3
    Drain and mash the potatoes into a puree.

    💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
  9. 9
    Let cool 10 minutes before cutting.
    💡Resting before cutting sets the pie: cut straight out of the oven, it is still soft inside and the slices fall apart.
