Recipe for meatless Potato Pie

I grew up eating this dish with meat and pine nuts inside...In Lebanese it's called "Batata bel saynye"
Since I do not eat meat , I made it with veggies ;)

Let's get to it!

Ingredients:
  • 1-2 cups assorted frozen veggies
  • 14 small-medium red potatoes ( you can use whatever potatoes you like , if they are big you can use 7)
  • oil of choice or ghee
  • hemp milk or any milk of choice
  • ground flax
  • salt to taste

Method: 
  • First, peel the potatoes and cook in boiling water. Then when they are cooked take out and set aside for few minutes. 
  • Place potatoes in a big bowl, add salt, oil or ghee ( I used about a tbsp of oil and a tbsp of ghee) and mash , adding 1/2 cup of hemp milk. Continue mashing until soft, like mashed potatoes. 
  • Then grease baking dish with oil or ghee, and spread the potatoes using your hands on the bottom to make the first layer.  You can make it thick or thin, it totally depends on what you like.
  • Then add the veggies ( frozen without defrosting or cooking them) on the layer of potatoes. 
  • Then spread another layer of potatoes over the veggies to cover them up. You may wet your fingers in order to smooth out the top layer. Again the thickness of the potato layer is up to you.
  • Then sprinkle the ground flax on top about a tbsp.  
  • Spread a little bit of oil or ghee over the flax. I used ghee , I just cut them in small pieces and put a couple of pieces over the flax.  
  • Preheat the oven to 350 and place the potato pie in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes, then broil for 10-15 minutes in order for the top to get golden.
Enjoy!
