Ingredients (approx. measurements):
- 5 medium potatoes (waxy potatoes are best for retaining their shape)
- 1/2 container of sour cream
- 1 c. plain yogurt OR 1 brick of softened cream cheese (I always use light products)
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp parsley
- Salt (I use No Salt) and pepper to taste
- 2 large sheets of puffed pastry
- 1 egg
Preparation:
- Boil potatoes until tender throughout and let cool (if they've been chilled in the fridge, they'll be easier to dice). Slice them into finger widths and put aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, yogurt or cream cheese, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper
- Lay one of the puff pastry sheets flat. Cover with one layer of potato leaving about 2" (about 4 cm) free at the sides.
- Add a generous layer of the prepared cream filling.
- Add another layer of potatoes making the second layer a little smaller than the bottom layer (like making a pyramid) then add another layer of cream filling.
- Add the third layer of potatoes again making the layer smaller than the last and add the final layer of cream filling.
- Place the second sheet of puff pastry over the layers.
- Trim the bottom layer to meet the second layer leaving an inch around the sides. Trim the corners of the pastry leaving 1" there as well.
- Fold the sides of the pastry up to seal everything in.
- In a small bowl, mix the egg. Brush on the folded sides to help seal everything in and brush onto the top to give it a golden crust when cooked.
- Bake until cooked (use recommended puffed pastry directions).
- When cooked, remove from oven and serve hot.
