HALIBUT POT PIE WITH MASHED POTATO CRUST

Halibut Pot Pie With Mashed Potato Crust image

This is from bon appetit magazine. I'm sure you could substitute any firm white fish for the halibut. It's best to warm the mashed potatoes in the microwave and adding more milk if necessary to make them spreadable.

Tips:

For the best results, use high-quality potatoes that are starchy and low in moisture, such as russet or Yukon Gold potatoes.
Make sure to peel and cube the potatoes evenly so that they cook evenly.
Do not overcook the potatoes, or they will become gummy.
Mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy, with no lumps.
If you are using a food processor to mash the potatoes, be careful not to overprocess them, or they will become gluey.
Season the mashed potatoes with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before adding them to the pie crust.
When pressing the mashed potatoes into the pie plate, make sure to pack them down firmly so that they form a solid crust.
Chill the pie crust for at least 30 minutes before filling it, to help it hold its shape.
When baking the pie, preheat the oven to the correct temperature and bake the pie for the recommended amount of time.

Conclusion:

Mashed potato crust pie is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes, and it can be filled with a variety of ingredients, making it a perfect dish for any occasion.
