Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place the potatoes in the preheated oven, and bake for 45 minutes, or until tender. Turn once or twice. Cool, peel and cut into 1/4 inch slices.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a medium bowl, stir together the spinach, green onion, ricotta cheese, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Wet the matzo sheets under warm running water briefly on each side, just until pliable. Place one in the bottom of a 9 inch square baking dish. Spread 1/4 of the ricotta mixture over it, followed by a layer of potato slices. Sprinkle 1/4 of the mozzarella cheese over the potatoes. Repeat the layers, and finish with mozzarella cheese on top.
- Bake for 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown. Keep warm until you are ready to serve. Cut into squares.

Steps:
- Place rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 425°F. If you see or feel dirt in leeks, rinse well, separating layers, then pat dry; otherwise, leave rounds intact.
- Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a 10" cast-iron or other deep, heavy, ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Cook sausage, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage and garlic to a plate, reserving about 2 Tbsp. oil in pan.
- Return pan to low heat and add flour, 1 Tbsp. at a time, stirring to combine. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture starts to smell toasty and is the color of peanut butter, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in stock 1/4-cupful at a time. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Add carrots, potatoes, and leek and simmer until carrots and potatoes are just softened and liquid is reduced by half, 10-12 minutes. Add reserved sausage and garlic, peas, dill, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper and stir to combine.
- Remove from heat. Place pastry over skillet, tucking corners gently into sides; it won't completely cover pan. Whisk egg with 1 Tbsp. water (if not using, substitute 1 Tbsp. oil) in a small bowl and brush top of pastry. Cut four 1" slits in pastry to vent.
- Bake pot pie until pastry is beginning to brown and underside is cooked, 23-25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
- Meanwhile, whisk remaining 4 Tbsp. oil, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a large bowl. Add spinach, arugula, radishes, cilantro, parsley, and almonds and toss to combine.
- Divide pot pie among plates and serve salad alongside.

Tips:

- To prevent a soggy bottom crust, pre-bake the pie crust for 10 minutes before filling it.
- For a crispy crust, brush the top with melted butter before baking.
- Don't overcook the pie. The filling should be set but still slightly soft in the center.
- Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
